A SPIRIT OF OUR FATHERS 


Who was Isaiah?—A poor orphan boy, the greatest and the 
most ancient of the sixteen prophets. Isaiah was the first of the 
noble prophets of the Old Testament. Isaiah was placed at the 
head of the glorious prophetic company. The name of Isaiah, when 
interpreted signifies: The Salvation of Jehovah, Our Father. He 
was endowed with singular prophetic vision; and he was commis¬ 
sioned to foretell and describe vividly and impressively the glori¬ 
ous advent of the Messiah through whom all flesh should receive 
the salvation of God; announcing unto us, a Child is born; unto 
us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder 
and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor or the mighty 
God, the everlasting Father; the Prince of Peace. Of the increase 
of His government and peace there shall be no end upon the throne 
of David and upon His kingdom to order it and to establish it with 
judgement and with justice from henceforth even for ever. 

Our most Worshipful Master Isaiah, therefore, the Lord him¬ 
self shall give you a sign: Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear 
a son and shall call His name Immanuel. Isaiah attributed to the 
Lord five titles, 9:6, 7. Isaiah attributed the word Wonderful to 
Jehovah Himself, the Lord of Hosts which is wonderful in counsel 
and excellent in working. Who then must the Lord Jesus Christ 
be?—God. Are there any other texts of Scripture that plainly show 
Him forth to be the mighty God?—the great God and our Saviour 
Jesus Christ? 

I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith 
the Lord; which is and which was and which is to come the 
Almighty. Rev. 1:8. How does John, 10:30, prove that the Lord 
Jesus is the Everlasting Father?—God is called the Everlasting 
God in Rom. 16:26 and Jesus says in John 10:30, I and my Father 
are one. To which character of the Lord Jesus does the Apostle 


5 



Paul allude in Eph. 2:14?—He is our peace—the Prince of Peace. 
When will the government be on the shoulder of the Lord Jesus? 
—When his reign of one thousand years begins. Rev. 19:11-16. Is 
there any earthly throne which he is promised?—The throne of 
David. What power does the Lord Jesus exercise now?—The power 
which as God he exercises and by the Holy Spirit. Matt. 28:18. 
Where is the Lord Jesus now?—On the throne of God in heaven. 
David: Is He not ascended into the heavens?—But he saith himself 
the Lord saith unto my Lord, sit thou on my right hand until I 
make thy foes thy footstool. Therefore, let all the house of Israel 
know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus whom ye have 
crucified both Lord and Christ. Acts, 2:34-36. Behold I see the 
heavens opened and the Son of Man standing on the right hand 
of God. Acts 7:56. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit 
with me in my throne even as I also overcame and am set doAvn 
with my Father in His throne. Rev. 3:21. 

Under what name is the Lord Jesus spoken of in Isaiah 11:1?— 
A Rod out of the stem of Jessus and a Branch cut of his doots. 
Who was Jesse?—The father of David. Who was the root of Jesse? 
(that is his forefather)—Christ as David’s Lord. From what stem 
of Jesse did the Lord Jesus spring?—From David whose father 
was Jesse and great grandfather Boaz. Ruth 4:16, 17. Where does 
the Lord Jesus call himself the Root and Offspring of David?— 
Rev. 22:16. What is the Lord Jesus called in Rev. 5-5?—The Lion 
of the Tribe of Judah; the Root of David. How will we know our 
most worshipful Master Isaiah?—By the grip of' the Lion’s paw, 
the tribe of Judah. Of what is the lion expressive?—Of strength. 
What is the meaning of the name Boaz?—Strength. What connec¬ 
tion have all these passages together?—They all unite in describing 
Christ. How does Isaiah describe the kindly power of the Lord 
Jesus in Isaiah 32:1?—Behold a King shall reign in righteousness. 
Under what character does he represent the Lord Jesus in the 
second verse of that chapter?—A man shall be as an hiding place 
from the wind and a covert from the tempest, as rivers of water 
in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. 
Can his kindly glory be a joy to us unless we know Him first as 
a “hiding place'’?—No. What part of Isaiah did the Lord Jesus 
read when he was on earth; when the eyes of all the synagogue 
was fastened on Him?—Isaiah, 61:1, 2. The spirit of the Lord is 


6 


upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the 
poor. He hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach 
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sigh to the blind, 
to set at liberty the mthat are bruised, to preach the acceptable 
year of the Lord, 4:18, 19. What did he say when he closed the 
book?—This day is the Scripture in your ears. Luke, 4:21. How 
often does the Lord (that is Jehovah) call himself by the name of 
Jesus, that is Saviour, in the book of Isaiah?—Four times or more— 
as I am the Lord thy God; the Holy One of Israel; thy Saviour.” 
Isaiah, 43:3. A just God and a Saviour. Isaiah, 45:21. How often 
does he speak of himself as “Redeemer”?—Directly and indirectly 
nine times or more—as “I will help thee” saith the Lord; and thy 
Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, Isaiah, 41.14. And All flesh 
shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the 
Almighty One of Jacob. Isaiah 49:26. What part of Isaiah pro¬ 
phecy was the eunuch reading when Phillip overtook him? Isaih 
53:7. 

8. The place of the Scripture which he read, was this: He was led 
as a lamb to the slaughter, so opened he not His mouth. In his 
humiliation his judgment was taken away and: Who shall declare 
his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. Acts 8:32, 33. 
Who was intended by the term “Lamb”?—Jesus Christ. John seeth 
Jesus coming unto him and saith: Behold the Lamb of God which 
taketh away the sin of the world, John 1:29. Worthy is the Lamb 
that was slain. Rev. 5:12. The Lamb slain from the foundation of 
the world. Rev. 13:8. A lamb stood on the Mount Zion. Rev. 14:1. 
The sons; of the Lamb. Rev. 15:3. Give the fulfillment of the 
prophecy (Isaiah 53) in each particular—Verse 1: Though he had 
done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on Him. 
John 12:37. Verse 2: He made himself of no reputation and took 
upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of 
men. Phil. 2:7. Verse 3: Is not this the carpenter the son of Mary? 
Mark 6:3. Out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. John 7:52. Thou art 
a Samaritan and ha^. a devil. John 8:48. He came unto His own 
and His own received Him not. 1:11. Verse 4: He cast out the 
spirits with his word and healed all that were sick. Matt. 8:16. 
Verses 5 and b: Christ dies for our sins according to the Scrip¬ 
tures when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he an¬ 
swered nothing. Matt. 27:12. And when they had bound Him, they 


7 


led him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the Governor, 
and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified. 
Matt. 27:2, 26. Verse 9: There were also two other, malefactors 
led with Him to be put to death. There came a rich man of Arima- 
thea named Joseph; he went to Pilate and begged the body of 
Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. Matt. 
27:57, 58. Verses 10 and 11: Lo, a lamb stood on the Mount Zion 
and with Him a hundred forty and four thousand having His 
Father’s name written in their foreheads. These were redeemed 
from among men, being the first fruits unto God and the Lamb, 
and in their mouth was found no guile for they are without fault 
before the throne of God. Rev. 14:1, 4-5. \ erse 12: Forasmuch 

then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood he also him¬ 
self likewise took part of the same; that through death he might 
destroy him that had the power of death that is, the devil. Heb. 
2:14 And with Him they crucify two thieves, the one on his right 
hand and the other on his left, and the Scripture was fulfilled which 
saith, and he was numbered with the transgressors. Matt. 15:27, 28. 

Compare Isaiah 63:1-3 with Rev, 19:13, 15, and tell of whom 
the prophecies speak: He was clothed in a vesture dipped in blood; 
and His name is called the Word of God, and he treadeth the wine¬ 
press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. Are we con¬ 
cerned in this?—Yes, for as sinners we are enemies of God. Then 
what should we do now?—We should come at once by faith to 
Christ, our Saviour, and be cleansed by His atoning blood. 

Are there not many gracious invitations to sinners throughout 
the Book of Isaiah?—Come now and let us reason together saith 
the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as 
snow, though they be red like crimson they shall be as wool. Isaiah 
1:18. Ho, everyone that thirsteh come ye to the waters, .and he 
that hat no money come ye buy and eat; come buy wine and 
milk without money and without price. Isaiah 55:1. Were there 
not many special promises to the Gentiles?—\es, as in chapters 
9, 11, 35, 42, 49, 60, 65. Who are the Gentiles?—All who are not 
Jews. To whom are the principal prophecies in this book addressed? 
—To the Jews. How are the sins of Israel described in Isaiah 1 and 
elsewhere?—Thy princes are rebellious and companions of thieves; 
every one loveth gifts and followeth after rewards. They judge 
not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto 


8 


them. Isaiah 1:23. The vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house 
of Israel and the men of Judah his pleasant plant and he looked 
for judgment but behold oppression for righteousness, but behold 
a cry. Isaiah 5:7. What glorious promises are addressed to God’s 
favored people?—As for me, this is my covenant with them, said the 
Lord; My spirit that is upon me, and my words which I have 
put in thy mouth shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of 

the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, 

saith the Lord, from henceforth and forever. Isaiah 59:21. The 
Lord shall comfort Zion; He will comfort all her waste places; 
and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like 

the garden of the Lord. Isaiah 51:3. Awake, awake, put on thy 

strength 0 Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, 0 Jerusalem, the 
holy city; for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the 
uncircumcised and the unclean. Isaiah 52:1. 

How does Isaiah describe their idolatry in Isaiah 44?—He 
heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak which 
he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest; he 
planeth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it. Then shall it be for 
a man to burn; for he will take thereof and warm himself, yea 
he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea he maketh a God, and wor¬ 
shiped it; he maketh it a graven image, he falleth down unto it. 
Deliver me; for thou art my God. 

Under what beautiful symbol does he describe God’s care of 
Israel in chapter 5?—A husbandman’s care of his vineyard. What 
could have been done more, to my vineyard that I have not done 
in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, 
brought it forth wild grapes? 

What touching images does he use to portray God’s love to 
his people in chapters 49, 14, 16, 54, 5-8, 66, 13?—As one whom his 
mother comforteth so will I comfort you. Art there not many 
fearful denunciations against the wicked in this prophecy?—There 
are. as in 1:28. The destruction of the transgressors and of the 
sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be 
consumed, and the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as 
a spark and they shall both burn together and none shall quench 
them. What nations then flourishing did Isaiah specially prophecy 
against by name?—Assyria, Babylon, Palestine, Moab, Israel, Ethio- 


9 


pia, Egypt, Arabia, Tyre, Jerusalem, the Jews. Take each succes¬ 
sion and tell us as nearly as can their present state?— 

Assyria is now a very low state, under Turkish rule. Babylon 
is so utterly destroyed that travelers have passed over its place 
without knowing it. Palestine generally, is in an uncultivated state. 
Moab is in the same condition. Israel is described under Palestine, 
tbove. Ethiopia is in the same condition. Egypt is an improving 
state, but probably far less populous and less rightly cultivated 
than of old. Arabia is still chiefly inhabited by invading tribes 
whose hand is against every man. Tyre is reduced to a mere fishing 
village. Jerusalem is in the hands of Mohammedans and shares 
the fate of Judah and Israel and Palestine at large. To what period 
does this wonderful prophecy extend?—To the end of time. Behold, 
I create new heavens and new earth and the former shall not be 
remembered nor come into mind. Isaiah 65:17. 

What glorious vision did Isaiah see which prepared him to the 
Lords service?—In the year that King Uzziah dies, I saw also 
the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up, and his train 
filled the temple, above it stood the seraphim. Then flew one of 
the seraphims unto me having a live coal in his hand, which he had 
taken with the tongs from off the altar; touch thy lips and thine 
iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice 
of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? 
Isaiah 6:1, 2, 6-8. In whose reign did he see that vision?—In 
Uzziah’s. Do you find anything similar to it? In the Book of 
Revelation 4:2. What effect did the sight of God’s glory have on 
Isaiah? He deeply felt his sinfulness, then said: Woe is me for I 
am undone because I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the 
midst of a people of unclean lips, for mine eyes have seen the king 
the Lord of Hosts. Isaiah 6:5. 

What was Job’s expression when God spoke to him?—I have 
heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eyes seeth thee, 
wherefore, I abhor myself and repent in dust and ashs. Job. 43:5, 6. 
What alone can remove the terror which all men as sinners must 
feel in the presence of God?—The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, 
that cleaneth us from all sin. 1 John 1:17. What removed Isaiah’s 
terror?—The live coal touching his lips sin,—as a token of God’s 
grace. What does an altar imply?—A sacrifice. In the vision of 
the Apostle John, Rev. 6 (which corresponds with Isaiah’s) who 


10 


is seen there as the slain sacrifice on the altar?—Jesus Christ the 
lamb, as it had been slain. Rev. 5:6. What preparation then do 
we lequire ere we can dare to meet Jehovah’s presence and glory?— 
To be cleansed by the blood of Christ and made one with him by a 
living faith. Is there any hinderance to our obtaining it?—None 
whatever. Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and 
he that hath no money, come ye buy and eat, come buy wine and 
milk without money and without price. Seek ye the Lord while He 
may be found; call upon him while he is near. Let the wicked 
forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts and let him 
return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him and to our 
God, for he will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:1, 6, 7. The spirit 
and the bride say come; and let him that heareth say come and 
let him that is athirst come and whosoever will, let him take the 
the water of life freely. Rev. 22:17. 

Now the spirit of the Jews look to the United States for the 
coming of their Messiah. Being of the tongue and the speech, they 
have had a wonderful order which they term Essene; from the 
Hebrew root Esan, to be Strong. (Essene) because they exhibited 
strength of mind in enduring suffering and in subduing the pas¬ 
sions. The Essenes were an order of the Jews and the fact that they 
developed themselves gradually, and at first imperceptibly, through 
inensifying the prevalent religious doctrines, render it impossible 
to say precisely at what time they were detached from the general 
body. Josephus, however, speaks of the Baccabean B. C. 143 (Ant. 
VIII 5-9). He also mentions an Essene wha delivered a prophecy 
in the reign of Aristobulus, B. C. 106 (War. 13-5; Ant. XIII 11-2), 
and as we find no reliable record of them previous to B. C. 150, 
that is doubtless very near the date of the origin of the order. When 
the ultimately withdrew, from the hest of the Jewish nation, the 
majority of them settled in Samaria, along the Jordan, and the 
rest lived in scattered communities throughout Palestine. Both 
Pilo and Jose have mentioned them as being very numerous at this 
time. They were divided into two classes—the first devoting them¬ 
selves to a life of contemplation and studying the mysteries of 
nature and revelation; the second engaging in some daily handicraft. 
They were ruled by a Rabban, assisted by a Rabbi and a Rab, who 
were chosen by the whole body. In cases of trial, however, a ma¬ 
jority was required to constitute a tribunal, and the brother who 


11 


walked disorderly was excommunicated; yet he was not regarded as 
an enemy, but was admonished as a brother and usually received 
back after due repentance. They divided the twenty-four hours 
into three parts—a portion of which was devoted to the service of 
God and the relief of the needy and distressed; a portion to their 
usual avocations, and a portion for refreshment and sleep. They 
rose at early dawn and offered up the national prayer for the return 
of the light of day, after which they betook themselves to their 
respective vocations and engagements, under the superintendence of 
the Rabbans and overseers. At the sixth hour, or twelve o’clock, 
the labor of the forenoon terminated and all reassembled bathed in 
cold water, after which they put on their white garments, entered 
their refectory with as much solemnity as if it were the holy temple 
and sat down together in mysterious silence to the common meal. 
When seated the priest invoked God’s blessing upon the repast which 
the baker placed before each one—a small loaf of bread, and the 
cook a dish of plain food. 

At the conclusion of the meal, the priest offered up thanks to 
the bountiful supplier of all our wants. -This was the signal of 
their dismissal, when they withdrew, put off their white garments 
and resumed labor again until the eleventh hour (or five o’clock 
as we reckon time). 

On the Sabbath they were seated according to their age; the 
younger sitting below their elder in becoming attire and listening 
with due attention. I hen one takes up the sacred volume and reads 
a portion, whilst the Rabbi expounds. But as they were com¬ 
pletely Esoteric in their doctrines, they omitted the most mysterious 
portions, which were only taught in the Hadoth, or place of secret 
meetings. As a sect they were distinguished by an aspiration after 
purity and like the chasidim of earlier times, were confounded in 
the popular estimation with the great body of the zeal as observ¬ 
ers of the law. The growth of Essenism was a natural result of 
the religious feeling which was called out by the circum¬ 
stances of the Greek Dominion and it is easy to trace the process 
by which it was matured from the Maccabean age. There was a 
continuous effort among the stricter Jews to attain an absolute 
standard of holiness. Each class of devotees was looked upon as 
practically impure by their successors, who carried the laws of 


12 


purity still further; and the Essenes stood at the extreme limit 
of the mystic asceticism, which was thus gradually reduced to shape. 

As an order they were distinguished by the following prin¬ 
ciples and observances: A love of truth and sobriety; love to God 
and man made manifest by religious zeal and kindly acts towards 
each other; always aiding the needy—and to this end they had 
stewards in every place where they dwelt to supply needy brethren 
with food and raiment, and as a means of recognition, they had 
certain signs and passwords by which they presently reconized each 
other. 

They were divided into three grades, or ramks, and when a can¬ 
didate applied for admission his character was scrutinized with the 
greatest severity, and if found worthy, he was admitted to the first 
grade, when he was presented with a white garment and girdled. 
He they remained in a state of probation and trial for one year, 
during which time although he lived according to their customs 
he was not admitted to their secret meeting. At the termination of 
this period, he was advanced to the second rank with its consequent 
rights and privileges, but he was not admitted to full fellowship 
with them until after another year of probation, when, if still found 
worthy, he was advanced to the third rank and invested with all of 
the signs, passwords, and privileges of the order. 

On his admission he was required to take upon himself a 
solemn oath or obligation, the heads of which were as follows: 

To exercise piety; to war on the wicked and emulate the good; 
to show fidelity and obedience to those in authority; to be a lover 
of truth and a reprover of falsehood; to keep his hands clean from 
theft and his soul from unlawful gain. 

Now comes this grand Master Isaiah from up the Mississippi 
River, a wonderful stream of water where the tide flows regularly, 
and he drops anchor with us; walks bare-footed and bare-headed 
with a shepherd’s stick; his sole ambition being to father his flock, 
to rebuild the temple of our body without money; the only minister 
who comes from God, our Father, without money. 

He labors night and day to teach us how to rebuild the temple 
of the body and to do so he urges us to build from the founda¬ 
tion upwards. Circulation of the blood is a wonderful thing; it is 
blood that gives life to body. Now are you so blind that you can 
not see the necessity of pure blood? To have pure blood, one must 


13 


keep the body temple clean inside and outside, and to do this the 
body must be rid of animal flesh. 

Our Father said: Behold, I have given you every herb bearing 
seed which is upon the face of all earth, and every tree in which 
is the fruit of yielding seed. To you it shall be for food and for 
every beast of the earth and to every fowl of the air, and to every¬ 
thing that creepeth upon the earth wherein ther is lif. I have given 
every green herb for meat and it was so, and God saw everything 
that he had made and behold it was very good, and evening and 
morning were the sixth day. Gen. 1:24-31. 

Of what is man made?—Man is made up of three things: What 
he eats; what he breathes, and what he thinks. He may perform 
any one of these in a wrong manner and cause disease in his body. 
Our temple, our body that are the temples, are made up of the fol¬ 
lowing fifteen elements; Manganese, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, 
Carbon, Potassium, Calcium, Sodium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Sili¬ 
con, Iron, Clorine, Florine—all these elements are contained in 
vegetables, fruits and nuts. Will killing the germ kill the disease? 

No, the body, that is the temple, must be made normal, then 
it protects itself against disease. Our father’s spirit entered our 
temple and we have everlasting life. There is absolutely no ques¬ 
tion as to the superiority of a diet of a kind over a diet which 
includes meat and if you want to know perfect health, leave meat 
alone. 

When any living animal is killed, it then becomes dead. Dead 
animals are not a fit food. At the time of death large quantities of 
dead and dying matter is on its way out of the animal’s body and 
there is waste matter in every pore of its skin. All this dead and 
decomposed matter remains in its flesh, so that the eaters of such 
flesh take all of that rotten matter into their own system and then 
wonder why they have boils, sor^-s. tumors, fevers, pimples, cancers 
and skin disorders. 

A vegetarian diet which includes plenty of fruit and nuts will 
make a better quality of tissue. Tou will have more endurance 
and with the dear spirit of our fathers there is no question that 
you will live forever. Four of the greatest evils in the world we 
have to overcome are passion, money, alcohol and tobacco. Before 
our Father, the dear Spirit, will enter into the temple, not to cure 


14 


the ills within them, not to cleanse and purify them, just to calm 
the pain that hurts them, just to kill the guide that warns them. 

Pain, am I, when you know me, when you have learned my 
secret. How I come to help and bless you, warn you, guide you, 
teach and lead you. When you know my loving nature, how at first 
I twinge you lightly, twinge you as a warning; hoping thus by kind 
reminder you will hear my voice and listen. Sure am I that when 
you know me, you will gladly then embrace me, call me friend, and 
give me welcome. Call me friend, and ask my message. 

This message I would bring you; this the reason for my visit; 
this the warning I would give you; this the secret I would teach 
you: 

When you learn to live as nature, in her great and boundless 
mercy, in her tender loving kindness, in her wisdom, in her good¬ 
ness meant that men should live and labor; 

When you learn to shun the byways leading off to vicious 
habits; when you learn to keep the body strong and clean and pure 
and active—give it work in right proportions, give it air and food 
and water fit to build its every member, fit to nourish every func¬ 
tion; when you teach your mind and spirit pure and noble thought 
to harbor, drive out fear and hate and malice; Christ-love and 
kindly motive; 

When you learn these things I have told you—when you know 
them, when you do them, then I will depart and leave you; then 
no more will pain be needed. 

This, then, is the truth I bring you, not that I hurt you but to 
warn you, not to harm you but to heal you, that I come to guide 
and teach you. 

I am God’s most blessed angel, sent to point the way to virtue, 
sent to teach the noblest manhood, sent to fill the mind with wisdom, 
sent to rouse the soul to action. Love me, trust me, heed my mes¬ 
sage, I will bring you peace and bless you. Love is all. 

Let labor boldly walk abroad and take its place with kings, 
for who has labored more than God, the maker of all things? 

The time has come, aye, even now, it is to rank that parable in 
Genesis of God’s great curse of labor, placed on men with other 
fairy tales. Why, he began all woik himself! He was so full of 
force he flung the solar system on their course and builded worlds 
on worlds, and not content he labors still. When mighty suns are 


15 


spent, he forges on his white-hot anvil new suns, space, new stars 
to tell his glory, his grace. 

Who most achieved is most like God. I hold the idler is the 
black sheep in the fold. Not for the hardened toiler with the hoe. 
My tears of sorrow and compassion flow. Though he be dull, un¬ 
lettered and not fair to look upon, though he is bowed by care, 
yet, in his heart if dear love fold its wing, he stands a monarch over 
unloved kings. 

One sorrow only in God’s world has birth—to live unloving 
and unloved on earth. One joy alone makes life a part of heaven— 
the joy of happy love received and given. 

Down through the chaos of our human laws love shines su¬ 
preme. The great eternal cause, God, love’s so much his thoughts 
burst into flame and from that sacred source, Creation, came the 
heart which feels this holy life within, and finds God and man and 
beast and bird its kin. 

All classes and all distinctions fade and disappear. Death has 
no power and in heaven he sees the near brother, is he to ox and 
seraphim, “slave to the wheel,” may keep, yet kings to him and 
millionaires may seem paupers if from them life has withheld its 
luminous great gem; or if his badge be scepter, hoe or hod, that 
man is a living stone; just a diamond in the rough. 

And who can read the remarkable utterances of the great 
prophet without feeling he is destined to serve the Lord with all 
his heart and with all his mind; to love his neighbor as himself, 
and to live in this world as the children of Christ, determined to 
show Him their gratitude for His sacrifice in Calvary. 

Among the many who have striven to example the teachings 
of the glorious prophet, no one has done so in such striking manner 
as the old shanty boatman, Brother Isaiah. By day and by night, 
he worked unceasingly to assuage the sufferings of his fellow kind. 
By his efforts he preached the gospel of Jesus, the Son of God. 
Not in the palatial temples, but in the streets, in the hovels, in the 
byways and highways, that the poor and unfortunate might be 
strengthened to bear their cross into the day of the kingdom which 
awaits them. 

Brother Isaiah spurned the material wealth of the earth, 
because of its detrimental effect in the accomplishment of spiritual 
upliftment. To know God intimately and to live in Him, one must 


16 


dedicate his whole life in the work of self-sacrifice and self-abnega¬ 
tion which can only be obtained by the exercise of deeds of charity 
and acts of benevolence. 

A Spirit of Our Fathers. 


Biloxi, Miss., March 1, 1923 

Japhet A Behar, 

Mount Zion, Jerusalem. 

Your letter of August 7th, 1921 at hand, about the 19th of 
September while in Los Angeles, Cal.,1921. We found it in my 
trunk yesterday. We were indeed glad to hear from thee. 

Having so much mail and working upon the sick and afflicted 
and preaching the word, I never got time to review the most im¬ 
portant mail that was kept. Thousands of letters were burned 
daily while working on the mail. Although now, I have laid aside 
of working on the sick and afflicted to read and answer those im¬ 
portant letters that has been tendered to my care. 

In reading your letter, we realize the trial and inconvenience 
you have been caused to encounter for your intentions to carry out 
the faith that you have embraced, that you may be found worthy 
and in well doing at the appearing of Jesus Christ. 

Speaking of Alex Dowie and the Zion City near Chicago, 
realizing the experience you must have passed thru, which to me 
are only trials and temptations, that seems to be needed—that 
when we pass thru them, we may rise to a higher and more noble 
understanding that makes us humble and obedient. 

Tour letter, not being brought to my attention until now, nor 

indeed could not have been for every moment of time, both night 

and day, was all employed to carry out the will of My Father in 

the name of the Lord Jesus Christ His Son, that he might be 

olorified and thus the whole world could be convinced that the 
© 

Lord liveth and reigneth in Mount Zion forever. 

We are now camping at this place, where we are taking our 
bread out of the ground by the sweat of our face. A few of us, 
earnest and faithful believers. We are prospering in everything 
we lay our hands to. The enemy has fought us to a finish and 


17 



ha\e thought it best, to let us alone. I have the victory over 
every trial they have imposed upon us of the greatest frame-up and 
combination of the powers of the world, yet their power was as 
vanity. We know that Satan’s power is broken. And he is being 
bound every day and will be during this dispensation. 

In the winter of 1901, My Father sent me to Alex. Dowie in 
Chicago, Ill., and he refused to meet me, or to have any conversa¬ 
tion with me. He sent me to the Zion bank and they took me up 
stairs, after many coming and interviewing me, a man took me to 
the head of the stairs and told a young man to show me the way 
out. So I found myself on the street. I talked with my father 
about it, well he said “\ou must go to the tabernacle.’’ I went 
there and heard Mrs. Dowie talk, for awhile and then Mr. Dowie 
talked. He seemed to talk as if he was much displeased with me. * 
When the meeting was over, I came away and my father told me, 

I must go back there again at the next meeting, so I did, three times 
and I heard Mr. Dowie tell the audience, that they had rented the 
Auditorium Sundays for two years, told the amount they paid, but 
I do not remember how much it was. My father told me that I 
must go to the Auditorium—that perhaps they might receive me, 
and the third time that I went there, they put me in a box seat and 
when I went away that time, the Lord told me—that it was 
finished, I need not go any more. I knew then his opportunity of 
receiving me, was passed away from him. 

And after I had called on all that the Lord had sent me to 
do, and fulfilled all that I had to do, in Chicago at that time, had 
taken me seven months, during that time, I had not had a bed and 
if you remember that was a very cold winter. So in likewise, I 
was sent away from Chicago, having finished all I had to do there, 
to DeKalb, Ill., where I labored for about one month, so making 
my way thru Iowa to Council Bluffs, finished there and went to 
Omaha, Nebr., and so I have been traveling and working and 
fulfilling, up to this time, which is thirty years this month since 
I got started after being sent away in the work of the Lord by Him 
who called me and hath chosen me, and sent me, and endowed 
me with power from on high. Since that, hath brought all things 
to my memory that He hath taught me from the beginning of the 
world. 


18 


I was called in the state of Nebraska, about thirty-five miles 
f 351 ol Fort Sidney. And at that time, I was told that I would 
be called again. Several years after this, I was called again at 
a small town called Salem, seven miles West of Fall City. In a 
meeting conducted by Miss Lucy Dodge of New York, N. Y. State 
and Miss Canie Nickols that received commissions from Abraham 
Lincoln to preach. After she had a call of God and no one 
would give her paper to preach and when she made it known to 
the President, he granted her this privilege. Those two women 
were carrying on their work in the Free Will Baptist Church at 
Salem, Nebr. Six month later, I was chosen out of the church 
thru a vision I had received from the Lord. I told it to the church 
and they gave me a letter of good standing and the Lord sent me 
away south-west from there about sixty-five miles. And was told 
to not hear nobody preach, but to read the bible Sundays and nights 
and stormy days and days that I could work, I had to husk corn, 
and chop wood to make a sustenance for myself and family and 
my stock. This continued for six months, during this time I had 
when thru the scriptures the most of it, twice and thru the Testa¬ 
ment several times. I was then sent to the work, commanded to 
forsake all and go out to the work. I had one excuse, that was, 
my family, but I was commanded to leave them right where they 
were and get right out to the work. And at the same time, I was 
endowed with wonderful power from on high. 

When daylight came, I got up as usual, read a Chapter in the 
bible and had prayer. My three boys and my wife all taking part 
in prayer with me. After breakfast we went to the woods as usual 
and in working that day and praying, I resolved within my heart— 
that I could not give up my family and go out to the work and 
have it said, that I had left my family, but I told My Father, if 
they would give me up and send me away, I’de get ready and go 
as soon as I could. We came home that night from the work, and 
after supper read another chapter in the bible and had prayer as 
we usually did. Then they all went to bed and I sat up and read 
the bible, about half past eleven and then I made this prayer to 
My Father—And said: Father, I know that thou hast called me and 
I know that thou hast chosen me and I know that thou hast en¬ 
dowed me with power from on high, but there is one thing more, 
I want you to do—that if you will do that, I will get ready and go 


19 


as soon as I can and that is for you to tell my wife to give me up 
and send me away with free good will. And I went to sleep, next 
morning and after breakfast went out to the barn, giving the boys 
instructions, how to take good care of the horses; keep the fence up 
and gates; take good .care of the tools and to take good care of 
their mother, for I might have to go out in the work for the Lord. 

My oldest boy, which is Fred, said “Papa" I had a vision 
and the Lord showed me, that He was going to send you out to 
the work. And I have been waiting for that time to come, for I 
promised Him, that I would take charge of everything and the 
other boys say that they have had similar visions. 

I turned to the boys and said. “Is that so? They both said 
yes Pa," we all know that you have got to go to the work. When 
I further instructed them to be mindful to entertain strangers and 
to never turn a stranger from their gate, but to entertain them and 
take the best care of them that they could and if anybody was’nt 
fit to go into the bed, they must fix a good warm place for them in 
the barn for the barn was warm. 

And to never charge anything. If they forced it on them by 
going away and leaving it, a little something they might use it. 
When I had finished talking with them, I started to go to the house, 
I met my wife coming out and she said, “Fve got something to 
tell you:" I asked her what it was. She says—“I am going to 
give you up." I asked her why, she says—“I don't know whether 
I had a vision or what you would call it, but God made me to 
know that you were His and not mine. That He chosen you and 
that I must give you up and send you away, or He would take away 
my life. So she came and took me by the hand and said, “I give 
you up to the Lord." Go and do all the good you can and if you 
don’t go, I think as much of you as I ever did, but I would not 
want to stay here for I would be afraid. My answer was, “Let 
us praise the Lord." You’ll give me time to get ready? She said 
yes. And I commenced to get ready and in a little over a week, 
I got started. In the beginning of March in 1893. And after I 
had elapsed the hand of my wife and boys and kissed them good 
bye, I departed to the work. After leaving the premises, I was 
wholly controled by the Lord. I was not allowed to stop at any 
house to eat or feed my horses untill I would come to the house 
that My Lord would show me. Then I could feed my horses and 


20 


sit down and eat with all liberty and freedom. The first house 
that I was allowed to stop at, when coming to the door, I passed 
a window in which a lady sat at work with a sewing machine. I 
felt an exchange take place and I could tell the woman did also. 
When I came to the door, another lady came and I asked her if 
I could feed by horses and have some dinner with them. She says 
it is two o’clock and our dinner stands on the table and is cold, I 
could give you a lunch she said, that would do, and said she would 
ask her son il I could feed my horses. He told her that I could 
go and help myself to the grain and hay. Then I went back to the 
barn wnere I had left my horses, watered and fed them and came 
in She sat me at the table to eat a cold lunch and she sat down 
in a chair and said, you will excuse me, for I am helping my 
son paper the house, but I have a sister here visiting me from 
Nebraska and she wishes to speak to thee. I told her I had no 
objections. Then she came in and commenced to tell me that the 
Lord showed her, when I passed by the window, that I was a man 
of God and had the power to heal the afflicted. And told me she 
wanted me to go and heal her husband. I asked her where her 
husband was? She says, we live forty miles north and two miles 
east of here. And we are twelve miles from the Nebraska line. I 
asked what was the matter with her husband? She said, she 
did not know, only that he could’nt use neither one of his hands. 
He could’nt feed himself, button his clothes, or open the door or 
drive his team, for something over six years. 

I said, when are you going home? Right now, if you will go. 
When were you going home? I intended to stay another week 
yet. I told her to stay her week out and then go home and tell 
her husband that she had met me and send these words to him. 
That I would come and heal him of his infirmity in the Name of 
the Lord. She says, “He is a peculiar man, and he might not 
believe.” And I told her, that did not make any difference. I 
said, I am going to Beatrice to do a little business and then I am 
going to Salem, Nebraska and on my way to Salem, I will stop 
at your place. And this I did, and when I came, I tied my horses 
and went down to the house, stepped upon the porch and knocked 
on the door. A little girl came to the door, and asked me in and 
gave me a chair, and I asked her if her mother had got home from 
her visit in Kansas? She said she had, but that she was about 


21 


three quarters of a mile away visiting. If you want to see her, 
we will send for her. I said, No, that is not necessary but I 
wanted to see her father. The little girl said, he is down there 
where the boys are building the fence. I said that he must come 
to me. So she sent the other little girl and he come up. And he 
says to me “What do you want?” I asked him if his wife had told 
him of a man coming to heal him of his infirmity in the name of 
the Lord? He said, she had said something about it. I said unto 
him, “I am the man.” He says what do you want to do? I want 
you to sit down where I can talk with you a little while. He says, 
where? I said, any place where it is quiet. So the girl opened 
the door to the front room. And we walked in there. I gave him 
a chair, and told him to sit down. I read some in the bible, I 
had prayer, laid the Lord’s hand upon his head; took him by the 
hands and raised him up in the name of the Lord, sat him down 
again and commenced to read to him prayer, when I discovered 
he was using his fingers and he explained “You can read and pray 
all you’re a mind to, for I am going.” And he jumped up, opened 
the door and ran out. After I had finished my reading and pray¬ 
ing, put my bible back in my little grip, went out in the other room, 
bid the little girls goodbye; went out and when I had passed the 
house, I looked up the road where my horses was, and I saw him 
standing with an iron sledge in his hands and driving a fence post. 
I was astonished, set my grip down on the ground for a few 
moments, came up and said, “The Lord has made thee whole.” 
Yes, he said, The Lord hath made me whole. And the tears rolled 
from his eyes like two little streams and I said, “Praise the Lord.” 
And he said Praise the Lord and he grasped me by the hand with 
such a grip that I thought he would break the bones in my hands. 
When he let loose of me, there was one boy on each side of him 
jumping up and down and praising God in the highest that their 
Papa was able to help them again. For they were quite young. 

I unhitched my horses and drove away, so you see I was called 
in Nebr. both times and I was chosen in Nebraska, and I was sent 
away from Kansas to the work and I did my first work in the 
state of Nebraska. 

Therefore, let all the house of David and children of Israel 
rejoice and know, that in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the 


22 


gentiles hath believed and He has taken out from among them 
His people for His name. 

Now as to coming to Jerusalem, when finish in this country, 
will be revealed in due time. 

Trusting that this will reach you safely and will answer your 
very kind letter for we have to close for the want of time to get 
if off in this mail, I am, 

Very sincerely and truly, 

Brother Isaiah, 

TO ALL THAT DO THE WILL OF THE ONE THAT SENT ME.

BROTHER ISAIAH’S SERMONS 


BILOXI, MISS., JULY 7th, 1922 

Text taken from 9th Chapter of Proverbs from 1st to 5th vs. 

Wisdom hath builed her house, she hath hewn out her seven 
pillars: She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; 
she hath also furnished her table. 

She hath sent forth her maidens; she crieth upon the highest 
places of the city. 

Whoso is' simple, let him turn in hither; as for him that want- 
eth understanding, she saith to him. 

Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have 
mingled. 

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of under¬ 
standing. Rebuketh a 4 wicked man getteth himself a blot. 

I want to speak a short while on that text. It is one of the 
most important sermons that ever could be uttered in the ears of 
man. 

Of course its partly in a parable and yet it means every word 
that it says: It means a man that has wisdom has built her house; 
has, become wise and built his house, the church of God called a 
woman hath built himself on the rock of the seven pillars, the 
seven degrees of divinity or God of all the seven churches, it is 
called a woman. It tells how the church is formed in the world, 
the church is a man. It says, she hath hewn out her seven pillars; 
she hath killed her beast; she hath mingled her wines; has killed 
all beast nature that he ever had in him. He hath mingled his wine 
He hath furnished his table. Mingling his wine, it that he has 
brought the truth among all the other doctrines of the world, try¬ 
ing to give it to them as the one true ministry that comes forth 
from God by inspiration. 

He hath sent forth his maidens, that is the last work he has to 
do before he speaks in the highest of the ministry that can be 


24 



uttered, and he says now: Come and eat of my bread, that is the 
words that he speaks and drink of my wine; that he will mingle 
his doctrine; that he has gone out and measured it with all other 
doctrines of the world and now finds that none of them has the doc¬ 
trine of truth; come and drink of my wine, and eat of my bread and 
live, forsaking the flesh and live and get in the way of under¬ 
standing that this is the ministry of God. Becoming a minister of 
this world, is building himself upon the seven pillars that stands 
by the church, which is the seven degrees of divinity, add to your 
faith, virture and to virture knowledge; and to knowledge tem¬ 
perance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 
and to Godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness 
charity. 

Its Gods hand which is Gods kingdom and Gods power that 
forms the church. Wonderful wisdom is being spoken here and 
there are only a few to hear it. But that is enough, we are satis¬ 
fied, thats the doctrine that comes forth from God called a woman 
is only a man, has certainly builed himself on all of the truths of 
God; true doctrines of divinity, virture, knowledge, temperance, 
patience Godliness, brotherly kindness, and charity. 

Now he says, “She hath sent forth her maidens,” he then says 
to the people, come eat of my bread and drink of my wine, come 
and eat the word of God, the bread of life, that makes you alive. 

For I have told you how that the church is formed on earth and 

focalized into one man and shows you the wonderful words spoken 
by Solomon who was king of the jews with mighty power of God, 
His words were wonderful. 

John Baptist came and was made ready and finally Christ 
entered into him and he spoke and the words of life, which was « 
God and spoke words of eternal life that shall never pass away 
and that was Jesus Christ, who was preaching through Solomon. 
He came down out of forty-two generations. Eat the words of 
life and forsake the flesh and live. 

Now you know that when the church speaks that kind of 

words, that you may eat and live, you know what it will do with 

you, it will do with you just what Christ said it would, He said 
you will pass from death unto life; all old things shall pass away 
and all things shall be made new. Just think of what a man or 
woman can do and can receive provided they will eat the bread of 


25 


life. By the word God makes them alive in God. Christ Said, 
“How oft would I have gathered your children as a hen gathers 
her brood, but ye would not.” Oftimes Christ came to this world 
but he came as Jesus Christ and would have gathered the scribes and 
Pharisees, but they would not let him; they would not turn their 
troubles over to him. Here we are in the last dispensation. The 
coming in of the gentiles, the word of God is spoken to you that 
ye may eat, drink and live. He says remember that God is the 
word, that did not mean that God is a word spoken by anybody or 
everybody, but it means, the word of God that comes to the people 
direct from heaven; its heavenly, it comes down. Now the words 
I have spoken comes by inspiration; how could I know what to 
speak. All this is revealed to me and I know what all those words 
are, the weight and power of them, and this is the last chance any¬ 
body will have to live. 

So now kind people, I trust that this little meeting is going 
to add many to the church, the true church of God. 

Of course I won't be here all the time, but when I am here, 

I -will be working and gathering the people together for to live out 
and carry out the new life that is revealed to us. The old life 
passes away. We live so different from the people of the world, 
it is so wonderful if you knew just exactly how we live and what 
we have given up. You would think you can't do that, but every 
thought that cannot be carried by every true believer, that is 
ready to give up all that is in this world, that the truth may make 
them free; that they may belong to the household of Gods family. 

Now Peter revealed how to receive this just like Solomon 
did, the very same thing he says. Having escaped the cor¬ 
ruption that is in the world through lust, and besides this, giving 
all diligence, add to your faith virture; and to virture knowledge; 
and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and 
to patience godliness; And to Godliness brotherly kindness; and 
to brotherly kindness charity. _ 

And if those things be in you, and abound, they make you 
that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge 
of our Lord Jesus Christ. And it will separate you from this 
present life. 

It won’t take you out of this world, but makes you ready to 
live in this world and he says; that he that lacketh those things, is 


26 


blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was 
purged from his old sins. That is the condition of one that does 
not progress. 

When you start to strive to live, they will tell you, you are 
crazy, for that reason the camp of the saints is being formed: 
That the people that live godly, may have an opportunity to do so. 

Now kind people, the text is the 9th chapter of Proverbs, five 
stanzas. It is how the church is formed on earth by God. 

Now you know as well as I know, what the people call 
churches and how they make them, but I have told you about the 
church of God wisdom hath built, her house out of flesh and 
blood. Hewn out of her seven pillars; she hath killed her beasts; 
she hath mingled her wine; she hath furnished her table. She hath 
sent forth her maidens, now its the church that is talking. The old 
dragon of that man passing away and he had no more animal left 
in him, but stood on the seven degrees of divinity; he killed his 
beast nature. No appetite for animal food; no never more. He 
mingled his wine, he preached his doctrine to the whole world 
and he sent them forth, which was the ministry that crieth to the 
people from the highest power of God. The highest, noblest and 
greatest words that ever could be spoken. 

Now I trust that the people can discover what the church of 
God is formed out of. First of all, God ordains a man to be born 
in the world at a certain season and being faithful, he brings him 
unto the world in his way just like it says in the scripture. Brings 
him unto the world, he brings him into this first life, he has learn 
what is in this life. He then comes to understanding that he must 
raise to a state and condition whereby he may be able to speak 
the words that will quicken others. He has to come to the end of 
the fulfillment of that to the school of knowledge. He must get 
right there by building himself on the seven degrees of divinity 
and by having them under him and by killing nature his beast. 
Why, when a man is born in this world, he has many beasts in 
him; he is a regular canibal, he feasts upon the animals of the 
earth, but when he kills the beast in him, he has no desire for 
flesh, that means he has furnished his table; that is what his body 
must have to build the church of God. He has furnished his 
table, he knows exactly what his body requires; he knows what 
his body must have and he knows it so perfectly that he never 


27 


will deviate from it. never in the world; he is set like seven 
pillars of life and truth. Now we see kind people, what the church 
is, what it is formed out of. How it takes place by the word and 
who is the church. The one that got it hath it and no other person 
upon the globe has it, that time it is to be focalized in one body 
because there is one body, one table and one fold, one shepherd 
and one baptism and one faith all came forth from that individual 
whos got it. He did not study for that, he can’t get it by study, 
which is to be the one kingdom from the beginning of the world. 
We are to bring about a people that can be redeemed from sick¬ 
ness, pain suffering and death; he must have the words of life; 
he must have words that can keep another and save another. He 
must be able to pay a ransom for his brother; It must be the 
same that has been handed down from generation to generation, 

I have chosen you out of the world because the world hated you, 
but you have loved the world, the world will love its own, but 
because you are not of the world, the world hateth you. Now see 
the condition the man must be in to be the church of the living 
God? 

Now Jesus Christ, when he was preaching, no other man 
upon the globe can speak the words that is being spoken here to¬ 
night and live the way of eternal life and to think that I am 
speaking with the wonderful wisdom and knowledge that Ihe 
church is formed of. Now this Jesus Christ set the example. He 
went into the synagogues and they threw him out and they threw 
me out and when they did, I quoted the scripture and told them, 
Christ told them the time would come when they would throw 
you out of the synagogue and the time will come when they will 
kill you and think they have done God a service, because they did 
not know him and now this scripture is fulfilled. 

It was on 8th street this happened, but the head Trustee of 
the church lived at 150 Delaney St., New York City. He was 
there and he was the one that had to speak the words that rejected 
me after I had been there and saved his daughter from death. He 
came over in the evening and asked me to come and heal his 
daughter, he was the head trustee of the church, and I told him I 
would be over there by nine o’cluck if the Lord would send me, 
but He did not send me and I asked My Father to reveal to some 
of them, what they would have to do, that I might go and heal the 


28 


child. And it was revealed to the little girl, that they would have 
to discharge the doctor and pay him off, and send the preacher 
away and get rid of the medicine, and send for Brother Isaiah and 
that she would live and sit to the table with them and eat with 
them. And I asked him if it had been revealed to him and he was 
crying and said that the Lord had revealed it to the sick girl. 
Then I said “I am going” I went over and anointed the child and 
she was completely healed and is alive yet to this day as far as I 
know. This was in the spiring of 1899. 

Now I tell you kind people, I have had, going on thirty years 
experience of mingling my wine or my word with all the different 
bodies of people everywhere, where I have been directed to go and 
I know that I am talking to you as I always do, the truth and show¬ 
ing to you that you cannot build a church out of wood, marble 
or stone, you can build all the idols that you want to, but you 
can t build the church of God. The church is the body that 
speaks the truth, the word of God, which is God where God dwells. 

Now kind people, its impossible for anybody to take the scrip¬ 
ture and prove anything against the ministry that I am speaking 
here tonight. They can never repeat this ministry, what I am 
talking and I have read to you the 9th Chapter of Proverbs where 
Solomon reveals to the people what the church was and how it 
was built and he was the king of Jeruselem and he spoke wonder¬ 
ful words more than any other person before him and when 
Jesus Christ came to fulfill. 

The prophet Elijah was sent in the name of John the baptist 
to prepare his way and make him ready for his work just according 
to the scripture and he did say that Jesus became Christ the word 
of God, the same as Solomon and Solomon, the word that preached 
through him was the same Jesus, the same word and the same God 
and he told the scribes and Pharisees how oft would I have gather¬ 
ed Thy children as a hen gatheres her brood, under her wing but 
ye would not. Now the children can be brought in and if you 
knew what those children must learn and what they must do and 
control them up until they become the age of maturity and they 
will be just like yourself and you are just like your fathers and 
mothers. But your children can be gathered unto God. Behold, 
your house is left desolate unto you until the time comes when 
you say “Blessed is the man that cometh in the name of the Lord.”

It does not matter what people think, or preach it don’t make 
any difference, it is the truth that makes you free from bondage 
of the world; its the word of god that comes forth. People may 
say what they please, that does not make one heart white. The 
truth and truth alone will make you stand like a solid stone. 

Now you have found out kind people, if you believe me, 
that the church is a man called a woman with twelve degrees of 
understanding; has the crown of life of the knowledge of God of 
the twelve Apostles, I want to quote that to you so you will know 
I speak according to the scripture. And there appeared a great 
wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon 
under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 

And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained 
to be delivered. 

Now kind people how simple it is that the woman brought 
forth a man child, that woman is the church of God called a 
woman, having twelve stars upon her head. First of all she is 
clothed with the garments from above from on high. She has the 
moon under her feet. All the light upon the face of the earth 
and she walks upon it. 

She is able to teach everything and everybody here upon her 
head is a crown of twelve stars, that is the church, everybody that 
lives unto God. She says we all live unto God, all of Gods wonder¬ 
ful power all comes to him, it can’t go any where else. 

There was another wonder in heaven and behold a great red 
dragon; having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon 
his heads. 

And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and 
did cast them to the earth; and the dragon stood before the woman 
which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon 
as it was born. 

Now this old red dragon is a man that teaches a whole lot of 
untruth with his tongue he even gathers up a third part of 
heavens, causes them to go down to and earthly existence instead 
of a heavenly condition. 

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all 
nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up unto God, 
and to his throne. The church called a woman is bringing forth 
a man child. Do you see how easy it is for her to bring forth a 


30 


grown up man, he can be born again and the dragon stood forth 
to devour her child as soon as it was born. That means that man 
child will be the church of God and God caught the child up unto 
his throne and protected the child. The red dragon was not smart 
enough to do it. 

Nobody in heaven, nor on the earth, nor under the earth was 
able to open the book, neither to look thereon. Behold the Lion 
of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the 
book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 

So if he is heavenly to you through this mouth piece, you 
will know who he is. Its high time people must know they must 
not worship idols; they must turn away from what God calls 
detestable things, and live. 

You see life comes right there. Right by listening to His 
blessed word. Gods in it and life in them that believe and there¬ 
fore a man sent from God, his name was John; that was sent to 
bear witness of that light, that all men through him might believe. 

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of the 
Light. That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that 
cometh into the world. 

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the 
world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received 
him not. 

But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become 
the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. 

Now you can begin to see how pure the word of God is and 
how wise and understands everything and can surely raise you 
up and give you power to overcome. 

Now Kind people I feel like I have certainly given you a 
chance to hear and understand these wonderful words of wisdom, 
that you will not worship any longer idols or listen to the red 
dragon, but listen to wisdom that hath built her home; she hath 
hewn out her seven pillars; that hath killed her beasts; hath min¬ 
gled her wine; sent forth her maidens, and she crieth upon the 
highest place of the city. 

Come eat of her bread, and drink of the wine she hath mingl¬ 
ed, for sake the foolish and live.

BROTHER ISAIAH’S SERMON 


BILOXI, MISS., JULY 5th, 1922 

12th Chapter of the gospel according to St Matthew, to 37th vs. 

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; 
and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of 
corn, and to eat. 

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, 
thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath 
day. 

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when 
he was an hungered, and they that were with him: 

How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shew- 
bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which 
were with him, but only for the priests? 

Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days 
the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? 

But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the 
temple. 

But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and 
not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 

For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day. 

And when he was departed thence, he went into their syna¬ 
gogue: 

And behold there was a man which had his brand withered. 
And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? 
that they might accuse him. 

And he said unto them, what man shall there be among you, 
that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath 
day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? 

How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it 
is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. 

Then saith he to the man, stretch forth thine hand, And he 
streached it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. 

Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, 
how they might destroy him. 

But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence; 
and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all: 


32 


And charged them that they should not make him known: 

That it might be fulfilled which w'as spoken by Esaias the 
prophet, saying. Behold my servant, whom I have chosen! my 
beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit 
upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles. . 

He shall not strive nor cry, neither shall any man hear his 
voice in the streets. 

A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall 
he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. 

And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. 

Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, 
and dumb; and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb 
both speak and saw. 

( 

And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the 
Son of David? 

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth 
not cast out devils, but by BelZebul the prince of the devils. 

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every 
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every 
city or house divided against itself shall not stand; 

And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; 
how shall then, his kingdom stand? 

And if I by Belzebub cast out devils, by whom do your 
children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 

But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the king¬ 
dom of God is come unto you. 

Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house and 
spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man, and then he 
will spoil his house. 

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth 
with me scattereth abroad. 

Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy 
shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Holy 
Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it 
shall be' forgiven him; but whosoever speaketh against the Holy 


33 


Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither 
in the world to come. 

Either make the three good, and his fruit good, or else make 
the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by 
his fruit. F 

0 generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good 
things ? 

For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth 
forth good things; and an evil man out of the evil treasure bring¬ 
eth forth evil things. 

But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, 
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement. 

I have spoken several times on this text, for by thy words 
thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemmed. 

Now kind people, the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom 
of God, is to cultivate humanity in such ways as they will be 
cautious and careful as to what they say, for man that doth not 
speak right, if their words are not useful and true words, is idle 
words and they have to give an account of every word they speak. 
Some people is getting so far in debt they will never get out, for 
they are not careful of what they speak. Now you know, these 
people all around us who do not keep any account of what they 
say, they talk all the time about something and having all kind of 
conversations and I want to say God is the Word and when we 
speak words that are useful, they help everybody that believe on 
them and we find those that do not believe on them must acknow¬ 
ledge that a good word spoken is of great value. 

Now he says, “That every idle word man shall speak,” he 
shall give account thereof on the day of judgement, for by the 
words of thy mouth, thou shalt be justified and by the words of 
they mouth thou shalt be condemned. So its just exactly the very 
thing that is going to get us out of debt, when we find that the 
great opportunity has passed away; when we find we can’t go 
back on our own lives, we find we have spoken so wrong, it would 
be impossible, indeed to ever get forgiveness of God, but God is 
good and therefore will forgive and when you come to this meet¬ 
ing through any vision and througt influence of this meeting, you 
become convinced and find out for yourself by revelation where 


34 


you stand and you find this is the judgement of God, that Gods 
judgement is here now, the hour of his judgement is right here to¬ 
night and we find ourselves in debt to God, but if we now repent 
of our sins and confess them, God is merciful and just to forgive 
our sins and to cleans us from all unrighteousness. If any man 
sa\s, he has no sins, the same is a liar and evil claims him and 

he finds himself in debt to God and he is not right, but if we con¬ 

fess to God, he will forgive us and is cleansed from all unright¬ 
eousness and after he gets to where he has no sin and he knows 
God is with him and has no weight against him of any kind, yet 
he won’t say he has no sin, because God has forgiven his sin, but 

after he is born of God and do not sin again, he never need to sin 

and never have an ache or pain because sin brings all pain. Sin 
is doing wrong and that puts a great opportunity to get forgive¬ 
ness. But you see how God hath prepared a way to save the 
people from punishment. Do you know, the kingdom of God is 
at hand? and the marriage of the Lamb is right now and its all 
true and I want to say, its now time for people to begin to live. 
The Kingdom of God is at hand and its time to prepare to live. God 
promised you a resurection and people should believe and act for 
yourself in righteousness and carefulness in Gods presence. There¬ 
fore, God promised all this and is able to carry out his' promises 
and this is the day of preparation for you to wheel right around 
and walk the other way; it means to do right and have power 
over sin and its necessary to convince you its the day of prepara¬ 
tion, today is the time to prepare to live. 

Now God spoke a prophesy over six hundred years before 
Jesus was born a prophesy thru the prophet that in the day of 
preparation there would be chariots running like lightening with 
flaming torches and in prophet Ezekiel 1st chapter 19th verse and 
he said, “When the living creatures went, the wheels went by 
them;” and when the living creatures were lifted up from the 
earth, the wheels were lifted up. And I want to say that prophesy 
was these flying machines; I want to tell you these autos that we 
have now to carry on our business today, is the very machines 
that were prophesied would be in the day of preparation and it 
said they would jostle along the streets. If you do not believe 
that is fulfilled, go to Philadelphia or in thoroughfares of New 
York and you can’t get through and you have a time to get thru 


35 


the streets and I want to tell you this is the day of preparation 
and when I used to preach in 1892 about them, the people said 
that man is bug house hes got wheels in his head, but after all, 
they now say I am the wisest man that they ever heard speak and 
I have some letters here from people that knew me in 1892, they 
say every word I spoke came to pass. So now I want to tell you 
that a prophesy is spoken thru the prophets. I am a prophet, 
sent by the Almighty God to save the people and this body is 
subject to the prophets. God sent me to re-prophesy his pro¬ 
phesies now for its time for his prophesies to come into action 
again on the earth. Its the simplest thing in the world, but you 
can go to school until you were one hundred years old and you 
can’t learn to be anything or get inspiration to know what to write 
and you may go thru thousand generations, you never could learn 
to be a preacher. You might talk about what preachers have said 
and about the word, but I am talking about being a preacher God 
sends to the world. But we read in the scripture where faith comes 
by hearing and how shall they hear without a preacher and how 
shall they preach without they be sent from God and according 
to the scripture: How would a man preach unless he gets in¬ 
spiration from God. 

When I was sent out I was as innocent as could be, I thought 
everybody that said they were a Christian, they were and I had 
power to do anything, but they said “you are not educated,” you 
can’t preach, but I had to work, my way along and come up as a 
tender plant out of dry ground and from the mighty power of God 
and become a prophet. A prophet, saith the Lord God shall I 
raise up from among you, him ye shall hear in all things and every 
soul that will not hear him shall be destroyed from among the 
people. And I do know a man is getting himself in debt every day 
that is not careful and his lips should never speak a word unless 
its going to do somebody some good. I do not coax anyone to 
come to this camp, because this is the water of life. And he 
shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding 
out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the 
river, was there the tree of life which bare twelve manner of 
fruits, and yielded her fruit every month; and the leaves of the 
tree were for the healing of the nations. 


36 


Now this pure river of the water of life is ministered to you 
from these lips and I want to tell you its from the Lamb and God 
both and the spirit of fire. And you can lay on your bed at 
night and God may call as plenty of my people have had ex¬ 
periences like that are plenty of ways God can reveal to you 
that he wants you when you become subject to him and this water 
of life proceeds out of God and the Lamb. He says the spirit and 
bride can invite you to partake of the water of life. And let him 
that heareth say, Come, And let him that is athirst come. And 
whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Anybody 
may come and hear the word of God preached and if you can come 
and drink of the water of life, you can do so, I say the door is 
open and the kingdom of God is at hand just like it says in that 
writing I have quoted here before, Lifes’ door is outward swung 
without a parable, without a problem free as the air you breathe 
that ought to bring the gentiles to a fullness and come on into 
perfection and where they can be called fulness of the shepherd 
and that the Jews can be brought back in before God casts away 
the Jews to bring in the Gentiles because the sheep will they follow. 
I have spoken here from this stand the importance of the word 
that the shepherd uses and his office and is to save his people and 
keep them in the fold and to bring them into a fullness and to 
protect them. 


BROTHER ISAIAHS’ SERMON 
BILOXI, MISS., JULY 1, 1922. 

Kind people we will read from the 37th Chapter of Ezekiel 
and take my text from that Chapter. 

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in 
the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley 
which was full of bones. 

And caused me to pass by them round about; and, behold, 
there were very many in the open valley; and lo, they were very 
dry. 

And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And 
I answered, 0 Lord God, thou knowest. 


37 



Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say 
unto them, 0 ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 

Thus saitli the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will 
cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: 

And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh 
upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and 
ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 

So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, 
there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came to¬ 
gether, bone to his bone. 

And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came upon 
them, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in 
them. 

Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, Prophesy, 
son of man, and say to the wind, Thus the Lord God; Come from 
the four winds, 0 breath, and breath upon these slain, that they 
may live. 

So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came 
into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceed¬ 
ing great army. 

Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the 
whole house of Israel; behold, they say, Our bones are dried, 
and our hope is lost; we are cut off for our parts. 

Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, 0 my people, I will open your graves, and cause 
you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land 
of Israel. 

And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened 
your graves, 0 my people, and brought you up out of your graves. 

And put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place 
you in your own land; then shall ye know that I the Lord have 
spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord. 

The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying. 

Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write 
upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions; 
then take another stick, and write upon it, for Joseph, the stick 
of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: 

And j oin them one to another into one stick; and they shall 
become one in thine hand. 


38 


And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, 
saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? 

Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will take 
the stick of Joseph, which is in hand of Ephraim, and the tribes 
of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the 
stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in 
mine hand. 

And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand 
before their eyes. 

And say unto them, Thus saith Lord God, Behold, I will take 
the children of Israel from among the heathens, whither they be 
gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into 
their own land: 

And I will make them one nation in the land upon the moun¬ 
tains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they 
shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into 
two Kingdoms and more at all. 

Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, 
nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgres¬ 
sions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, where¬ 
in they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my 
people, and I will be their God. 

And David my servant be king over them; and they all shall 
have one shepherd; they shall also walk in my judgments, and 
observe my statutes, and do them. 

And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto 
Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall 
dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s 
children for ever; and my servant David shall be their prince for 
ever. 

Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall 
be an everlasting covenant with them; and L will place them, and 
multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for 
evermore. 

My tabernacle also shall be with them; yea, I will be their 
God and they shall be my people. 

And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, 
when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. 

Kind people I have not read that before, even tho for a long 


39 


time I have wanted to preach from that text because that is the 
prophesy that is prophesied to come I went back to that chapter 
and read it all so that you will know God, thru the prophet 
hath spoken it. 

Now kind people, I am very thankful tonight for your kind 
presence here and I know you have always given me a good 
audience and attention for I am sure that you would not come away 
out here with us unless you were seeking the truth and I want to 
say to you kind people, the texts we have just read when God told 
the son of man, saying son of man can these bones live? and when 
he told them to prohpesy to those people and called them dry bones 
because they had lost hope and were cut off as far as they knew 
anything about God, that they were really cut off and really past 
into a state where they never could be redeemed and be redeemed 
before the fall, but we find that God tells them that he will lay new 
sinews upon them; that he will bring up flesh upon them and 
cover them with skin, and put breath in them and ye shall live. He 
says now these prophesies are to be spoken now, but they are to 
be spoken into action right now the same as these autos were 
spoken into existence six hundred years before Jesus was born, 
because they were to be in the day of preparation and it means a 
day when God would speak to the people sufficient to raise them 
up in the first place, then get them to believe they can live. You 
cannot speak a person into a living, acting, moving body until you 
can get him to believe, then commence to add to it and thru 
encouragement he will believe and as he believes he will get 
strength and as he begins to act, his body becomes alive, but that 
has to become a prophecy as far as their own selves are con¬ 
cerned, then they say wilt thou show us what meanest thou by 
these? God says he is going to speak to you and cause you to 
live and your flesh that is full of corruption and plagues and 
you reach out and take even hope to work against disease in your 
body; you will do anything to stay here, but I want to tell you that 
this is one thing you should know, you cannot live unless you are 
spoken into existence and it must be the son of man to do it. And 
God said in the day when the son of man is upon earth, it would 
be just like they were before the flood they would be selling, buy¬ 
ing, marrying and giving in marriage until the flood came and 


40 


took them all away and he said that the same would be that they 
would be selling, buying, marrying and giving in marriage and 
planting and reaping until it would be just like it was in the day 
before Noah and the son of man would be to make an everlasting 
covenant with you that would never pass away. Now you should 
know you can’t take medicines and live; you can’t by any words 
that you can speak live. The words of life must be spoken to you 
and you must believe them and live them and God will cause new 
sinews to come upon your bones; new flesh upon you and cover 
you with skin, and put breath in you, and with power of God, ye 
shall live. That is the way people will live following the one, the 
right one to talk to them and there is no other way to give life 
and you should believe kind people in a minister who is sent from 
God and that God is the one that speakes the truth and gives them 
a living existence thru God by the words of God he speaks. 

The people, as far as they are concerned is entirely gone, 
they can’t help themselves to live. I was in a neighborhood 
twenty miles from Revannah, a place where I was acquainted when 
a boy and do you know, I found only four persons that I knew 
when I was there before, the balance of them were all gone and 
one of them was on his death bed and expected to never get up. 
The others were very old and very feebl and they did not believe 
I was the same little orphan boy. When the war broke out I was 
too small to take with them so I told them of many things that 
happened at that ime and I was a very paient little boy and being 
and orphan I was abused but any how they could not believe 
until I told them that I knew so much that took place then and 
they said I must be the one. Now, kind people, if you, to-night, will 
believe that if you live, you must live by the word of God spoken 
by the son of man and the son of man is God’s elect and means 
the rise of man where you may have hope, thru faith and recover 
life. 

That is why, it is for the reason kind people that a young 
person has a better chance for life. It really seems that I have 
had the worst material in this neighborhood. Do you know what 
this means, it means the resurection, shows you that its really 
better for the younger persons to overcome than for an older 
person, but the young people say, I will have a good time and sow 
my wild oats, now you can’t start too quick: We are going to 


41 


have nothing to clo with idols and now he is going to bring them 
into an everlasting convenant which he made with them at the first, 
to never die they shall always live and never know what is death; 
never have anything bad that would be distasteful to your best 

ideas you could have. Now you know how you feel about living 
and not dying, you will have to live a different life, than what 
you are doing now. \ou will have to live a different life, Christ 
said I am the way, the truth and the life, follow me. I will teach 
you to live a pure life, He did not waste any of his substance, 
keeping everything his father gave him, He did not do anything 
that would harm him, he was a single man, says I am the way 
follow me. 

Now the young people say, if I can just get someone to love 
me and I can love someone and think you have to have somebody 
to love. Christ says I am the way follow me he will lift your 
burdens save you and ye shall find rest. 

Now kind people those about me that have made an effort not 
to have anything to do with idolatry, they already have no responsi¬ 
bilities upon them and they feel perfectly contented and happy 
and have power alreadv to overcome. If people obey His holy 
will, it is the sweetest thing to do right and not have anything to 
do with sin. And if we do this you must have the truth first. Of 
course he has to learn it how are you going to learn it? By the 
son of man the one God sends to you, this truth you are going 
to learn it of and if he did not teach you that Christ is also 
strength and life and hope, His life were patterned after him and 
bv following Him we must resurect our bodies and we are changed 
kind people as He speaks to you. Your bodies are changed, I do 
not believe the same as I used to, I can’t hardly feel that I am 
worthy to live this pure life and so thankful God has had mercy 
on them. He has by his word made them whole and made them 
happy that is the same prophesy we have been talking about. Your 
bodies become changed and you are happy and free from pain and 
you grow on and the first thing you • know you say I am not a 
bit like I used to be. If you knew how old I am; if you knew, I 
say, age has no power over you, age has nothing to do with the 
resurection not one thing. When you have the spirit of truth, life 
and are doing it, its like a child. Christ came and takes him in 


42 


his caie that is the way with yourselves, you are struggling along 
in the 'world, the Lord picks you up, carries you along starts you 
in the truth, saves you, makes you free and you are a free people 
someone comes along says, why don't you do something on a 
certain day, we worship God, we do not worship days, we are so 
thankful that we can w T orship God everyday. We believe all days 
are alike, we do not feel any difference in days, we want to do 
right today and take no thought of the morrow. We are not pre¬ 
paring to do something on any one day we take no thought of 
idolatry. 


BROTHER ISAIAHS’ SERMON 
JULY 3, 1922. 

Kind people I wish to speak to you a few words, I will just 
talk a little while on the subjects of the shepherd, you will find 
in the 10th Chapter according to St. John: Verily, verily, I say 
unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but 
climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the 
sheep. Vou will find what the shepherd is to do when he cometh, 
the prophesy of that chapter when the return of Elijah, he came 
to straighten the course that is to make a pure way, plain, to be 
understood plain to operate and take all the dark sayings away 
and the beginning of the entrance unto the fold and to follow up 
anyone that could hear the word received it: He came to baptize 
the people unto repentance and he came to prepare them and make 
them ready for the Lord. He took them into the water and buried 
them in the water and raised them up again and the real meaning 
of this baptism is that John lived the life that they were to live and 
he was the example that we were to follow and they were to keep 
themselves clean all over and repent from their sins and that is 
baptism. When a man will keep himself clean from sin and in 
every way, he will go into the water and be made clean and repent 
of his sins and he will live the life that John lived and that he will 
keep his body clean all the time and that he will keep his mouth 
clean and he will do everything that is pure and clean and he 


43 



will never drink strong drink and he will eat natural sweets that 
God gave him to eat and that he would not touch, taste nor handle 
nor have anything to do with anything that was killed, he would 
eat locust, that is a pod about that long and one is sweet and one 
tart and John came eating fruit drinking no intoxicating liquors 
and eating no bread at all and that was the life tht people repent¬ 
ing of their sins should live. And they that did eat, and that be¬ 
came repentant and was baptized unto repentance and follow the 
life that John the Baptist showed to them and Peter was one of 
his deciples and when baptized Christ the spirit decended upon him 
and he says that I testified that this is the Lamb that taketh away 
the sins of the world and he introduced him to everyone there and 
he followed Jesus and they found out he was the Messiah and he 
baptized them with the holy ghost and with fire and it was the 
baptism already received from John. There are two baptisms one 
is the holy ghost and by fire and when you have one you have it 
all and you are saved body and soul and all and you come into the 
presence of the Lord that prepares you and makes you ready for 
him and the shepherd is the one that entereth into the door which 
is the word that Christ spoke. Christ said, man shall not live by 
bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth 
and Christ spoke thru Jesus and he that entereth in by the door is 
of the shepherd of the sheep. 

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice; and 
he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 

And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him 
for they know not the voice of strangers. 

I want to settle this question of baptism, so we will know that 
baptism is not just going down into the water and come up again, 
and thats all, but you must come into repentance and spirit of fire 
will burn out the carnal man and purify his being and makes him 
a pure man and he will not eat anything unclean any more. In the 
fortieth chapter of Isaiah we find what the shepherd is to do and 
it says, He shall feed his flock like a shepherd; he shall gather 
the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall 
gently lead those that are with young. That is the author of the 
shepherd he is to send and if you will be a clean person and I 
tell you people it is just the words that people should hear and 
do right. Now its late enough and its time to prepare to live, but 


44 


some say, how do you know its time to live? Everybody is pre¬ 
paring to die. Some people do not know what they are talking 
about, its time to prepare to live and not die any more. 

He shall feed his flock like a^hepherd; he shall gather the 
lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently 
lead those that are with young. Begin here and get to where your 
body can be free from cares, ailments and pains, where you can 
live. The shepherd of the sheep is supposed to feed his sheep and 
his sheep will hear his voice and know his voice and follow him 
and a stranger will they not folow, but will flee from him for they 
know not the voice of strangers. Now I won’t speak any longer, 
but the work of the shepherd is to feed his flock. We know he is 
the lamb and follow him for they know his voice. Men do not 
gather grapes of thorns nor figs of thistles and I want to tell you 
kind people the fruit of his lips is his people and the sheep follow 
him and they know his voice and he is their shepherd and they 
follow him. When they get the light, you cannot get them to steal 
nor sin and you cannot persuade them to do wrong, then he has 
some good fruit, you can go to bed at night and feel safe and they 
will do no wrong and that is what I call fruitage of the lips, the 
mouth piece of the shepherd and you ought to hear that and believe 
on that you might know that it is the truth.

TESTIMONIALS 


Biloxi, Miss., May 8, 1923. 

i 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

It was in the fall of 1906 that for the first time a voice spoke 
to me that I should leave my country, to which I paid no attention. 

The second time that voice spoke again the same way, even 
then I paid no attention. As I was the oldest boy, I was entitled 
to the whole farm and property. 

The third time this same voice spoke and said, “If you don’t 
leave you are going to be shot.” This kind of scared me and I 

said, to my self, who is going to shoot me? I have no enemies, 

but the voice said, never mind, if you don’t leave, you are going 
to be shot and as I happened to be afflicted at that time already 
for seven years this voice said, “You go to the United States,” and 

there is a man over there who will heal you. Then I was willing 

to go if my folks would let me. 

So one day I told them that I would like to go to the United 
States. Then they said, Oh! well, you have done something, 
otherwise you would never leave. Well, I said, I will give you 
until spring to see if I have done anything wrong or not, by that 
time you sure will find out. 

And during the winter they asked me all kinds of question, 
what my intentions was to do. Finally, I said, “I will go over 
there to a Monastery,” while then they were willing to leave me go. 

When spring came and I told them that I was going to leave 
for the United States Easter Tuesday, so they gave me the money 
to go on. When I was ready to go, the last minute they said, “Look 
what you are missing,” If you stay here, the people will elect you 
for Mayor and when they saw there was no use they said, well we 
give you two years and you will be glad to come home again. 

I left and came to the United States in April 1907. I could 
not speak a word of English, but I worked my way true. In 1914 


46 



when the war broke out, as soon as I heard the news, the voice 
spoke again and said, “Y ou see now where you was going to be 
shot? At that time I had a farm in New Jersey. After a while 
I sold the farm and then the voice spoke again, “Hereafter you 
must own no more houses or land.” So then I went to work again. 

In 1920 I worked for a man in New York State. Sunday 
before Easter he came out to his country place and gave me a 
newspaper. As soon as I opened the paper, I saw Brother Isaiah’s 
picture and a few lines underneath. As soon as I was thru read¬ 
ing this voice spoke again.. Saying: “You want to see this man 
right off.” He is the man going to heal you. 

I made preparations right away, took the fastest train out to 
New T Orleans and when I got to him the voice spoke again and 
said, now you are in a safe place and all the fear left me immedi¬ 
ately. Before I got to Brother Isaiah, I had visions that I had to 
go to Jerusalem, when I got to Him, I found out that I was already 
in Jerusalem. Brother Isaiah healed me, of what the doctors 
claimed Chronic Catarrah of the stomach, throat and constipation 
and itching piles. Besides of a weary mind from which I suffered 
for twenty long years. 

Thanks to our dear Lord and Brother Isaiah that I am free 
from that bondage. 

While Brother Isaiah went to California, I got off a street 
car in New Orleans and wrenched my ankle: It hurt me so badly 
that I could’nt step on it, I put my blest handkerchief on it and 
in ten minutes the pain was gone. I got up the next morning and 
never knew that I had a pain there the night before. In this same 
time Brother Isaiah was in California, one of the boys left. 
Brother had healed him from blindness. One evening he came 
to do harm to the other boys in the camp. He had a lot of helpers. 
One of his helpers called me out and while I was talking to the 
boys, Brother Isaiah had healed, there stood a big man at my side, 
he was there, we found out later to strike me down as soon as I 
said a word which did’nt please him and then the others were 
o-omg to act. But while I was yet talking to the boy, this man 
suddenly shook and after a few seconds fell backwards on the 
ground so fast his body never struck the ground, but his head had 
stuck in the ground several inches deep. Then they cried out for 


47 


water and I went down to the river and got them some water. 
The foam came out of this mans mouth and he struggled terribly. 
Ever since this, I knew that the Lord protects this camp. 

I have seen Brother Isaiah healing all kinds of diseases, make 
the blind see, the lame walk and the deaf and dumb hear and speak. 
One Saturday night he made six blind men see and the next morn¬ 
ing one of these blind boys led another blind boy. 

It was one morning in June 1920, after Brother Isaiah had 
healed the sick the whole night, when He told us to look at the 
sun as He was going to show us something. The sun was up 
about one hour and the sky was as clear as crystal: There was not 
the sign of a cloud to be seen. First of all He performed a veil 
over the sun, so we could look in the sun, then raised a light 
colored cloud out of the sun and out of this cloud raised Brother 
Isaiah just as plain as you see Him before you all in snowey 
white. His hands were crossed. I then looked around to see if 
He was still there with us or if He had disappeared. He stood still 
there, but His body never moved. After a bit He spoke and said, 
“Have you all seen it?” We said “\e.s” There were five of us 
together. This, He said, I have shown you that you may believe 
who I am and who sent me. This was enougt for me, no more 
doubting who He could be for I know then that He is the Son of 
man, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. The lamb taketh away 
the sins of the world. 

I am with Him now three years and I most truly say I never 
felt happier in all my life as I do here in the camp of the Saints. 

Praise our dear Father and Brother Isaiah for it.

Biloxi, Miss., May 6, 1923 

When I found Brother Isaiah on the 4th day of Aug., 1920, 
I was in bad health and I had been deceived very badly by the 
false doctrines of the world. I had a desire to serve the Lord and 
I had been taught that one could be prepared for the most efficient 
service of the Lord by receiving College and University training, 
so I had spent several months in College studying theology, science 
and other things, thinking that I was fitting myself for the Lord’s 
work. 

While in College I was licensed to preach as a local preacher 
by the M. E. Church South and I went out for a short time, the 
following summer and babbled about the bible to the people. It 
seemed to me that something was wrong, but I could not tell what 
it was, and as things did not work right, I decided not to continue 
that. Quite awhile afterwards, I went back to school to prepare 
to be a teacher of the bible and to prepare to enter a Medical 
College to study medicine, thinking that I could go and serve the 
Lord in a foreign land as a medical missionary. I left the college 
that I was attending in Florida and went to Atlanta to work there, 
and to prepare my studies in a University there. I found in in¬ 
vestigation that it cost a great deal to go to school there, and I 
did not find any employment, so I decided to enter the Merchant 
Marine service and I went over to New Orleans to enter that 
service for awhile, until I could make enough money so that I could 
go back to school when I got to New Orleans, I did not go into 
that service, but found employment as a special police. After 
that, I got employment at the U. S. Marine Hospital close to where 
Brother Isaiah was preaching and healing on the levee and I soon 
found him. I heard Him preach, in His sermon, He said that He 
was the one spoken of in the 19th chapter of Revelation, King of 
Kings and Lord of Lords, but I did not believe Him, and I began 


49 



to talk against Him. I watched Him heal the people of their 
diseases, I saw Him restore hearing and speech to a deaf and dumb 
man, that had lost his hearing and speech from disease. When 
I saw Him do that, I did not say any more against Him, for I 
did not think that anyone could do such a miracle except through 
the power of God. And I feared God. I wondered greatly who 
Brother Isaiah really was and I prayed over it, searched the scrip¬ 
tures and listened to his teaching. As the Lord gave me under¬ 
standing, I found that He was preaching the truth and I knew 
that I had never heard it preached before. I rejoiced because it 
was what my soul was hungering for thank the Lord, I have been 
made a free man by the truth that He preaches. All those 
mountains of difficulties that had been heaped up between me and 
God by the false doctrines of man, were rolled away so that I 
could come to God and be as free and as happy as a little bird. 

I found out that what I had learned from teachers in the 
Colleges and the babblers about the bible was from beneath, but 
on the other hand, I found out that what Brother Isaiah taught, was 
from above, that it did not come from any College nor University, 
but that it came from the Father in heaven. I also found out that 
God did not need me as a medical missionary, but that He could 
do all the preaching and healing that He wanted done through 
Brother Isaiah. 

As I said before, when I came to Brother Isaiah, I was in bad 
health. The Lord, through Brother Isaiah has healed me and 
now I am enjoying good health and am happy and contented. 
Soon after I came to Brother, my teeth began to bother me terribly. 
Thru the use of the handkerchief blest by Brother, my teeth were 
healed. Now my teeth never bother me and I do not have to go 
to a dentist anymore.

To Brother Isaiah: 

Testimony of Mato Morovich. 

. To explain what kind of a healing thru Brother Isaiah. I got 
cold grip and rheumatism on my left foot too much warm and to 
my eye not look good and headacke and sickness too and I go 
plenty time to doctor and same thing be nothing. One time I go 
to doctor, after couple of days, I asked the doctor. Can you heal 
me or not? He tells me, nobody heal to you only God or one 
man whom God sent to heal you. In that time you believe thats 
your healing, what you told me that be true. Surely true. And 
one time I was in New Orleans and someone told me there is one 
man coming, he heals without medicine and cures by God and 
lives close to God. I was in a hurry to look up that man, the time 
coming to go sure to that man. It was first time I look that man; 
I am told this man is sure good. Only one man like God, the one 
God sent to the people, it now is true. Brother Isaiah, no difference 
only God, I am looking to Brother Isaiah. Right in the sun in the 
middle and the left another man more than all Him Brother 
Isaiah. That surely be God. In the right side one man young 
one, must be Jesus Christ, that time was 24th of February 1922 
In morning about seven o’clock another time I was looking at the 
sun and saw Brother Isaiah, in my dream on the 24th February 


51 



1923 same thing like I saw in the sun. Now thank God and Jesus 
Christ and Brother Isaiah for His work. I am now very satisfied 
to my life thank you very much to Him. Mato Morovich, 24th 
October 1922, at that time is the time Brother healed me. Brother

To Brother Isaiah: 

Prayers and thanks to the Lord and Brother, bless their holy 
Names: 

Sometime near a year ago, I joined the Baptist church. I 
saw things that did not look right to me at all so I asked the Lord 
to show me the way and one day while on a Locomotive at work I 
dozed. The Lord told me to go and talk to that preacher and draw 
my letter, so I was waiting for a chance and Thursday night I 
dreamed of being with the Lord and Jesus and on Friday the next 
day, I came and found dear Brother. Prayers and thanks to the 
Lord and Brother. Then Brother gave me a home and I let the 
devil lead me away, went back in the world and did’nt think I 
was worthy at all, so I gave up and shaved and at once I went 
down, I thought that my life was gone and it was near all gone 
when Brother saved me. One night after that Brother came by 
me and as I called Him, but He went on. A few nights later I 
was standing in a window Brother walked up, I did’nt know if 
He would shake hands with me and He did shake hands and I ran 
out and around the house caught him around the knees and fell 
on my knees. Brother came another time. I had something in my 
hand, it seemed to be bad liquid. He told me to get that out of 
my hand. 

I got a piece of small steel or at least it was metal in my 
right eye. I told Brother and it left me at once. Yes and I could 
tell lots even to cars will mind Brother. Thank the Lord I am 
back with Brother and have the only home in the world. Thanks 
to the Lord and Brother all praises.

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I am sending my testimony. It has been three years ago I 
was healed. You came and healed me in a vision I had pneu¬ 
monia in both sides and was given up to die. I had not seen you, 
but only heard of your wonderful work. I told my people to get 
Brother Isaiah I knew He could heal me of my pneumonia, but 
they would’nt get you because they had’nt seen any of your work. 

I prayed and begged for them to send for you, that night you 
came in a vision from New Orleans to Iumberton, Miss., and 
healed me. \ ou was dressed in blue and you had your grip in 
your hand and “Isaiah'" written on it in gold letters thats how I 
knew that it was Brother Isaiah. I awoke and told my papa that 
Brother Isaiah had been there and healed me. He said Oh! she 
is delerious she don't know what she is saying. Next morning I 
got up well and I never had any pain since 

I am now healed both soul and body. I thank the Lord thru 
Brother Isaiah.

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

Your leter of last year to hand. The handkerchief you sent 
me to be applied to the boy Bernardo Ramirezo on his leg was 
healed so far, as his leg was loosed as to enable him to walk. So 
thanks to the Lord and yourself for this service. 

Speaking about the truth seekers, I am satisfied that the 
truth comes forth from God as you say. I would like to have an 
anointed handkerchief to use it to help me out to heal and make 
whole some sick persons by applying same to them. Will you 
kindly, if possible, grant this to me? If so, let me know if I have 
to send it to you or you can get it there and send same to me. I 
thank ycu heartly in the Name of God.

Biloxi, Miss., April 13, 1923 


Mr. Domin°o Martinez. 

O 

El Paso, Texas. 

Kind Sir: 

Your letter of 8th at hand yesterday and was very glad to 
hear from thee and thy faith. 

I will endeavor to answer you questions. The ministry that 
came from the Father unto the world, by Jesus Christ, has been 
handed down to us; has been preached and practiced by many 
people, that hath slept, passing out of this life in the faith and 
hope of the resurection. The ministry now, that come forth from 
the Father, to fulfill the prophecies that was to be fulfilled, in 
the end of time, which also fulfills the prophecies and promises 
given us by the great prophet Isaiah, and the Ford Jesus Christ, 
that the people that have slept and waited by faith for this resurec¬ 
tion, might receive the fulness of their faith. 

And the people that are faithful, might know that this ministry, 
comes forth from God. Thereforth, as I am the minister of this 
event, and as it is very necessary, that my Father is glorified, to 
place anyone in authority to treat people, thru those blest hand¬ 
kerchiefs, would rob God of His glory. Therefore, there are no 
ministers nor anyone a right to use the liberty of acting between 
God's mouthpiece and the people. 

When anybody receives a blest handkerchief, and they become 
aware that it has power, that the Ford’s hands hath blest it, and 
they make it known to others and let them do as you have done, 
to send forth their request and receive of the Ford direct. And 
then no one would exalt themselves or stand in the way to hinder 
God from His glory, but beat the subject out of their reward. It 

individual send for a handkerchief, if they feel so disposed. When 

we have carried the good news to them by a true statement, which 
is our testimony, that the Lord might reward us for speaking the 
truth, you see what each one would gain and if you, or any other 
man would get in between them and the Lord, would not only rob 
God from His glory, but best the subject out of their reward. It 

is a good thing to testify the truth in the ears of the people and 

let them receive access to God thru their own efforts and happi- 


54 


ness and good will, would be ministered in the right way, in the 
r\a} God Almighty has and does all things right. 

The way so many creeds and different religious has come into 
the world, has been brought about by parties assuming the right 
and taking the liberty to act, without any authority from God. 
And this kind of work is being carried out bv mostly all that 
mention His name. Have taken His name in vain. This is called 
transgression, and iniquity all thru the bible and in other words, 
called babbling. I have never given anybody the right to act in 
My place, for God speaketh now to the whole world and if He will 
be believed on and obeyed by the mouth-piece that He hath or¬ 
dained, from the beginning of the world, and hath called Him, 
and hath chosen Him and hath sent Him, and endowed Him with 
power from on high. And sent to the whole world, without re¬ 
spect of persons, and without money and without price, certainly 
those that can hear and understand, will be equipped with the 
necessary power to cease from sin. And to overcome, being for¬ 
given of all their past life, and an opportunity to overcome and 
stand in the presence of God, faultless and without blemish. See¬ 
ing that all of those wonderful gifts and promises, by all the 
prophets and teachers of the past, is rejoicing in one accord, in 
one family, in one faith, in one Kingdom, in one God, in one 
Lord Jesus Christ, accompanied by the holy spirit of life, the 
unction that all true believers can receive by the true ministry 
that now flows direct from God. 

Just consider, how wicked and vile that man must be, that 
would assume the Lord’s Name in vain. And undertake to act, to 
deceive humanity. May God help everyone to look to themselves 
and not have any of those things laid to their charge. 

Therefore, if thou wilt have a handkerchief for thyself, thou 
alone should open the letter and handle it yourself. And if any 
body else gets a letter with a handkerchief, they must have the 
same privilege, to act for themselves, that they may have the same 
risrht. And access to the blessing. 

O 

Trusting this will answer your very kind letter, and that you 
will not be slack to make known to the people, that Brother Isaiah 
alone is the authority for all this great work, and is in the Lord s 
Name and has paid the full price, and hath been sent to the work 


55 


for over thirty years and will finish my ministry and fulfill all 
things, and will reach every fair minded and reasonable person 
upon the face of the whole earth. For my script must be shed 
abroad to the whole world. And when it is published and we re¬ 
ceive the copyright, which is applied for, this instruction can be 
sent to anyone at their own address that will call for it. 

Trusting this will meet with your approval, that the Lord may 
be glorified. 

Yours very responsible and truly, 

Brother Isaiah, 

TO ALL THAT DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH HATH 
SENT ME.

How I was healed with faith in God thru Brother Isaiah. 

Three years ago on the banks of the Mississippi river when 
I saw Him heal a couple of deaf and dumb mutes and all 
disease and saw the large crowds around Him, some pushing try¬ 
ing to get up first and I said to myself. Wliats the use of pushing, 
when their turn comes they will get healed and I was very sick, I 
had what the doctors called bronchitis. I could not catch my 
breath and I had all kinds of things the matter with me and I 
said to myself. “I can wait a thousand years,” I had plenty of 
patience and knew God, thru Brother could heal me. I was healed 
a year after of pain all thru my jaws. I have seen lots of things 
Brother did and knew He is the right one. 

I have been in the camp one year and I am happy and con¬ 
tented and never want to leave here. I came here to serve God and 
do whatever He wants me to do.

Kirkland, Washington March 4, 1923. 

Brother Isaiah: 

I have had a vision: First there was a very black cloud and 
then the cloud seemed to rise and light showed. Then a valley 


56 





opened up in front of me and some kind of different colored 
ribbons or lights from heaven. Then there was a trench on either 
side of the valley and tiring started and then a man, Our Lord, 
I thought, held out his hands and the firing ceased all at once. 
Then there appeared an unclean man before me, then he appeared 
again with white hair and clean, and something seemed to take 
hold of my body three times and I struggled each time. Then 
I asked to see it again, but only a flash of light three times. 

Now, if it be the will of God, please tell me what it means. 

. I also see other lights when I pray and when I put the handker¬ 
chief on the sick and afflicted. 

Now, I know that you must be the holy prophet Isaiah of old. 
Therefore, I look to you as a teacher of God’s ways and I want to 
try to do them and is it right for me to loan my handkerchief to 
any that want to try it? Or to borrow another as I have lost mine 
somewhere? 

Very sincerely and truly, 

Geo. Shafer 

I want to do the will of Him that sent you. 


Biloxi, Miss., March 27, 1923. 

Mr. Geo. Shafer, 

Kirkland, Washington. 

Your letter of March 4th came sometime ago and as you wish 
to know the interpretation, will say that it is the Lord’s will that 
it should be so. 

First to know that the time is at hand and that the Kingdom 
of God has come and the light that thou first saw, that God’s right¬ 
eousness is to be revealed. 

The darkness that rises and past away, is the untrue under¬ 
standing that thou hast of God. That which comes next is Gods’ 
right way, being light. And the valley that opened up, being a 
trench on either side, was the condition of this present world. 
That if they raised up and killed one another, both sides felt 
justified to do so. 


57 



The bright colors that appeared, which was purity, virture, 
and Gods’ kingdom. The firing that took place, means the war¬ 
fare of men that can never make peace. The Lord appearing, show¬ 
ing that He only can make peace. The unclean man that appeared 
before thee, was your own-self, God showing you, your own con¬ 
ditions, then the Lord appeared to show His power to stop thee 
from the sinful and natural life, sowing to the flesh and reaping 
corruption. 

The third time, means that He has also given you this same 
privilege in the last true dispensation and He also gives it to you • 
now. The same opportunity to cease sinning. For, when lust is 
conceived, it bringeth forth sin and when sin is finished, it bringeth 
forth death. 

Therefore, If one should err from the truth and one should 
convert him, is to get him to believe the whole scripture, to follow 
Jesus absolutely, let him know he hath saved a soul from death 
and hid a multitude of sins. For that is the way of nature, and 
that is the way down to the pit. Christ says, “I am the way, follow 
Me, I am the resurection.” 

We see that this is the last dispensation, which is the third 
time, for when this dispensation is ended, it finishes Gods’ promises 
to man. 

As to the handkerchief, everyone should send and get a hand¬ 
kerchief for themselves and not employ any, and no one should be 
employed by any, for God only, works thru His elect. 

The whole truth that deliveres and frees from the bondage 
of sin. For He is powerful, not one faileth. 

Trusting that this will answer your request and that thou 
mayest profit by it, I am, 

Sincerely and truly, 

Brother Isaiah.

Biloxi, Miss., Jan., 27, 1923. 

Geo. R. Shafer, 

Kirkland, Washington. 

Your letter of August 1922, I found today in looking over 


58 



a lot of old letters and while I did’nt find answered to the enve¬ 
lope, I decided that perhaps it might have been answered. 

As I learned that it was a letter of great importance and 
should be answered by all means. 

Now in answering your first question concerning Pastor 
Russels works interpretation of the scriptures being correct or not? 
This is a very important question and should be answered correct¬ 
ly as the lives of many persons seem to be depending upon the 
writings of this man and you also asked me for a correct interpreta¬ 
tion of the scriptures. 

Now the interpretation of the scripture is answered in the 
scripture and by the scripture. The Revelations could not be 
understood by reading or studying them. This is revelation and 
being sealed with seven seals and no man in heaven, nor in earth, 
nor under the earth was found worthy to take the book and to 
loose the seven seals thereof, but the lion of Juda, the riot of David. 

Therefore, all men should know that the one that the books 
are opened to, must be that one. And as to Pastor Russell being 
perfection and the mouth-piece of God, according to the scriptures, 
could not be true, for the first is last and the last is first. Many 
hath come since He came and I am one of them. And as to the 
answer that you received, from a Nazarene preacher, fully explains 
by the scriptures, that He must be the one he was accusing of 
doing great things. 

I will just give you some scripture, to read for yourself. The 
3rd Chapter of Gospel of St. Mark 22nd vs. beginning to the last of 
the chapter. You will hear all the words from the lips of Jesus 
Christ, that will convince you and every bible reader on the globe, 
that the devil cannot do good: That he cannot do but evil and 
that God cannot do evil, but only good. The devil is a man that 
gives wrong interpretations of the scripture and wants people to 
listen to what they say. They are the gates of Hell that Jesus told 
Peter, when he said, “thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living 
God,” Christ said, that flesh and blood had not revealed it unto 
thee but my Father which is in heaven and upon this rock I build 
my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. So 
you see who the gates of hell is. Is a class of people that is 
deceiving the whole world, because they seem to be too lazy to 


59 


read the bible for themselves and ask God for the interpretation 
thereof. Or anything that they wish to know concerning God and 
His wonderful works and word. 

Therefore, I was very glad to run across this letter, that I 
might show you plainly that the blessing that you had received 
thru my ministry, comes forth from God and by the works hath 
proven it to millions of people. Satan is at present deceiving and 
being deceived and with debates and arguments and by babbling 
over the bible undertakes to maintain his ministry and deceive the 
hearers. But thru the grace of God by His wonderful and singular 
mercy towards His people to bring the gentiles to their fulness 
and to fulfill all inings and defeat Satan, hath at this time pre¬ 
vailed in carrying it into effect His word and works in effect. By 
Jesus Christ Our Lord. 

Trusting that this will answer your questions being sure that 
they are correct. And that you may henceforth and forever know, 
that the devil cannot do anything good, I am, 

Very sincerely and truly, 

Brother Isaiah.

Dear Brother Isaiah: 


Los Angeles, Cal., 3-30-23. 
Belvedere Gardens, 


I am sending you a handkerchief to bless for a lady friend, 
who is troubled with awful headackes. She is a sister to the 
folks I got my guitar from and they told her about you and she 
wanted a handkerchief right away and asked me to send you one 
to be blest for her. 

I got my guitar and it is a dandy. I can play it better every 
day. My brother is going to write you soon. He is going to write 
a testimony. His fingers were nearly all well before he received 
the blest handkerchief I asked you for. All send you their love. 

Miss Idella Young,

Miss Idella \oung, 

Los Angeles, California. 

Dear Lady: 

Your leter otf March 30th at hand and we were glad to hear 
from thee and to learn that thou art highly pleased with the guitar. 
I will be glad when I can hear you play. 

It has been sometime since I wrote thee, so I feel that I must 
answer your mail in this letter, for we are very busy at present 
trying to get out our work. We are going to have a book of 
testimonies. And we feel by all means, that thy testimony should 
be in this book along with your name. We wish you would give us 
a true and correct statement of the years of your suffering and 
trials and experiences of different hospitals and sanitariums and 
influences and how you came to Brother Isaiah at Miracle Hill, 
and how you were healed: of the feeling of your disease passing 
away and what I said and done, that caused this great miracle to 
be performed. 

I feel, if you are careful, that every word will be the truth 
and that your testimony wil be aproved of by all the heavenly 
body. We know that all is life to gain, thru Him that freely 
gives; That saves us from our ills and pains, And keeps us like 
He keeps His doves. We know the trials of the worldly life; with 
all its pains and ills, And now we know His way is life. That 
thru our hearts doth thrill. 

I seem to see thee brought upon the stand. 

And see the state you were in, and now to look upon a maid, 
washed from her ills and pains. And I do trust, washed from all 
the worldly life, to ever walk with Him, that loved us and shed 
His blood to make us pure and clean. 

How blessed is this thought, that says, I know Him now, for 
He showed His great favor and mercy, when I so truly needed 
Him. And now I can truly see when once I trusted in man, whose 
words seemed right, but was so weak and void of anything. So 
when we look about us and see what God hath done, that loved 
us and thru His mercy, has made us well again. 

Trusting this will reach you early and find you going on in 


61 


the true way I have taught thee, with joy and a merry song, for I 
am ever constant and sincerely care for thee, because you have 
believed and from misery hath been made free. Sincerely always 
remember Brother Isaiah, Thy True Friend. 

Brother Isaiah.

Kenton, Ohio March 17, 1923. 

My Dear Sir: 

The handkerchief received by Mrs. Reid from you. It was 
put over her heart and lungs and she has received quite a lot of 
relief. And is improving slowly. She is very weak of her sick 
spell of “Flu 5 ' and pneumonia. Was in bed four weeks. She has 
taken some cold and her lungs are quite sore again. Now the 
Lord has healed her many times and she always gets the most 
relief when she is anointed by you from the Lord. 

Now is there any harm to use remedies to build up her 
strength? Such as bathing her lungs and limbs and taking a tonic 
to give her an appetite? 

Thank you very kindly for your great kindness to mail the 
handkerchief. 

Yours very truly, 

E. R. Reid. 


Port Arthur, Texas, August 1921. 

A DREAM 

While Brother Isaiah was in California, one night I dreamed 
I saw Him standing upon a rostrum or stand a few feet above the 
crowd. 

There were about ten thousand people waiting there and listen¬ 
ing to Brother preach. 

Then God caused His beautiful light from heaven to shine 
upon His Son Brother Isaiah, and glorified Him and banished all 


62 




human appearance from His face and He was beautiful as His 
Father had removed every trace of earthly surroundings. 

When this great light disappeared, Brother Isaiah stepped 
closer to where I stood on the ground and said, “Now I think you 
will follow Me. Won’t you? 

This came as divine revelation from God Almighty who cre¬ 
ated the heavens and earth, and all that therein are. 

This is a true and corect statement and I am writing this be¬ 
cause I was commanded by the Almighty power to write 'vhat I 
saw as testimony of great revelation received from God Our 
Father who is in heaven, He made me to know that Brother Isaiah 
is His own Son full of grace and endowed with power from on 
high. And He is the way, the life and the light of the world. 

Mrs. Helen B. Cannon. 


Biloxi, Miss., April 1, 1923. 

Mrs E. R. Reid, 

Kenton, Ohio. 

Kind Madam: 

Your letter of March 17th at hand some time ago. Just hav¬ 
ing time to answer you letter of inquiry, will say, to keep the body 
clean by bathing and rubbing, exercise is very necessary and of 
great importance and strengthening to the body. Bathing the head 
and drying the hair over a kerosene stove that is, heating stove 
which is a safe and quick way of drying, rubbing the scalp well 
with the fingers while drying, being careful to not get the hair 
on fire. In this way there is no danger of taking cold and this 
ought to be done by your own self, having the room warm. 

You will find that rubbing exercise your own self will streng¬ 
then you greatly. To have another to rub your body, nine persons 
out of ten will take away your strength. Persons that could help 
one by rubbing them, are not very plenty. 

And to take anything like medicine as a tonic to get strength, 
and to build up an appetite, is not done in that way, but to take 
and squeeze the juice out of half a lemon, in the morning before 
eating and take it just as it is squeezed out of the lemon without 


63 



any sugar or water. And in five minutes after take the juice of 
an orange and drink it down. This done every morning and you 
will have all the appetite that you need. But to be healed of the 
Lord and made well again, is to not take any medicine, but to put 
you full trust in the Lord and in the Lord’s way as material 
doctrine and divine healing don't go together. God gives us 
strength and courage when we exercise our faith and trust in Him. 
By cultivating yourself, by waiting on yourself, always cheerful, 
with a great hope of a speedy recovery and dependence on your¬ 
self and God. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. Drink mainly 
lemonade and sweeten it with maple sugar if you can get it or 
home made sugar. Get to feel independent, that you are trusting 
in the Lord and all things is possibly with Him. 

Trusting this will answer your kind letter, I am, 

Very sincerely and truly, 

Brother Isaiah.

San Angelo, Texas, Dec., 1, 1922 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

Have written you sometime back but perhaps you did not get 
my letter. I thought it best to write you again. Your letter I 
got sometime ago I thought it the true gospel. Will ask you a 
few questions. Is it a sin to eat meat of any kind? Is it a sin 
to take medicine when one is sick? If we are saved will we go 
to God when we depart from this life? If we are lost, will we go 
to torment when we depart from this life? or will we rest in the 
grave until resurection. I would be glad if you could come to 
this town. I am sending you a handkerchief to bles for me if you 
please. I am afflicted with what is called high blood pressure 
caused from liver, kidney trouble. I am some better but suffer 
so much. Please don’t forget me if you can help me in my 
afflictions. Please do so pray for me that I may be saved and 
healed. Is the Lord Jesus and the Holy Ghost all three in one? 
Hoping to hear from you, 

Mrs. Mattie Griffin.

Biloxi, Miss., Dec., 4, 1922 


Mrs. Mattie Griffin, 

San Angelo, Texas. 

Kind Lady: 

Your leter of December 1st, at hand today and will say your 
appeal for help is of no doubt true and sincere, tlthough you need 
some instructions. 

For you to he delivered in the Name of the Lord, it certainly 
must be by one that has paid the full price for His name. That 
the Lord is with, that is able to baptize with the true baptism. 
Whomsoever baptizeth must be a baptizer sent from God, or else 
there would be no true results. 

It would not be right for me to say that any church was right, 
but only to give what I know and have experienced in the Lord’s 
name. Being called of God, being chosen and sent and endowed 
with power from on high, demanding the price of His name, which 
I paid forsaking father and mother, sister and brother, wife, child¬ 
ren, for His namesake, which brings the last first and the first last. 
I also had to give up my house and land. 

Now' you wanted to know, the important scriptures that you 
should learn how to receive the Holy Ghost. In the 40th verse of 
the 10th Chapter of St. Matthew giving whomsoever would receive 
whomsoever He sent them, would receive Him. So those things 
are received from the Lord Himself, that abides with Him whom 
He hath sent and by receiving Him, you receive Him that sent me. 

I will send you a blest handkerchief with instructions, w T hich 
if you receive, believing through faith, you shall be delivered from 
the afflictions mentioned for an evidence that He that sent me is 
with me. That is able to do all things according to the wil of the 
Father that is wrought by His hands. 

Trusting this will answer your letter of inquiry, for help, 
I am. 

Very respectfully and truly, 

Brother Isaiah.

Biloxi, Miss., March 30, 1923. 

Mrs. Mattie Griffin, 

San Angele, Texas. 

Kind Madam: 

Your leter of the 26th at hand yesterday. Your last letter 
of Feburary 14th, we answered on February 20th answering your 
questions and quoting the scriptures. 

First: Is it a sin to eat meat of any kind? 

Answer: You can eat all kinds of meat. You can read in 

the beginning of the book of Genesis, that meat is the fruit of the 
trees and the herb of the ground, so you see its no harm to eat 
all kinds of meat that the Lord hath given us to eat. He says Thou 
shalt not kill, and how can you eat flesh without killing it. Read 
66th Chapter of Isaiah being the last chapter, the 3rd verse, tells 
you that to kill an ox is the same as to kil a man. Do you think 
its a sin to break this commandment? According to the scriptures 
its a great sin and tho you should’nt kill it and eat it if another 
man kills it, are you not just as bad as him? to patronize a slayer 
and pay him for it? 

Many things are spoken in parables, but now God makes all 
things plain and the crooks straight and the hills low and exalts 
the valleys, which are the obedient people. 

2nd: Is it a sin to take medicine when anyone is sick? 

Answer: Its a sin to get sick, because sickness is the effects 
of sin, which is doing wrong and then to take medicine to get well, 
is telling the Lord, He did’nt tell the truth, for He says, “Bring 
your complaints to Me.” 

If we are saved, we won’t depart only from the life of sin. 
We will be alive and obey God. 

4th: If we are lost we will go to torment when we depart 
from this life. 

Answer: All those that are lost, is already in torment. That 
is the reason Christ came and preached life, that we might be saved 
from torment and be freed from our sins. Those that have not 
been freed from their sins by the ministry of Jesus Christ, are 
yet in their sins and if they should pass away in their sins, they 


66 


would go to hell, where the wormdieth not and the fire is not 

quenched. 

When Christ and Martha was talking of the resurection, that 
would take place in the last day, told her emphatically, and said, 
“I am the resurection and the life, He that believeth in Me, tho He 
were dead, yet shall he live and he that liveth and believeth in 
Me, shall never die, believest thou this..” 

Now is Abraham and Abel is still alive unto this day, then 
they never died. 

Now as to your son, L. F. Griffin, is living in the faith and 
if he should pass away in the faith, he will sleep in rest in the 
bosom of faith until he will be resurected in the flesh again, but if 
he can overcome, the defects of his body being cleansed from all 
his sins, it would not be necessary for him to sleep. And because 
he truly believes in the true ministry and carries it out, he lives, 
while he lives in the world and by and reason he should pass out, 

he is still alive thru faith in the resurection. 

Trusting you will study this leter caretfully with the scrip¬ 
ture, I am, 

Very sincerely and truly, 

Brother Isaiah.

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I will write you, I am afflicted very badly with kidney and 
liver troubles and have high blood pressure. Have been sick for 
three years. Can you do anything for me in the Name of the Lord. 
My suffering has been intense. I have suffered so much, I feel 
like if I could see you, I could get healed. Can and will you pray 
for me that I may get healed. I am sixty-three soon. Will you 
please tell me if water Baptism is right in the Name of Jesus or 
in the Name of the Son and The Father and the Holy Ghost. What 


67 



church do you think is right? Could you explain how we have to 
receive the Holy Ghost? Please give me the important facts of 
scripture that we must live up to. Please help me in every way 
you can. I would be glad if you could come to this part of the 
world, there are so many afflicted here. Could you come here 
to this town? Oh! how I do wish you could come in the Name of 
the Lord. Will send you an addressed envelop. 

Your truly, 

Mrs. Mattie Griffin. 


Biloxi, Miss., February 20, 1923, 

Mrs Mattie Griffin, 

San Angelo, Texas. 

Kind Madam: 

Your letter of 14th at hand a few days ago. We were very 
glad to receive your letter and to learn that thou had received some 
benefit from the blest handkerchief. 

You ask to know who was a saved person. A saved person 
is one that hath sought the Lord, according to the scriptures, every 
one that seeketh, findeth and he that asketh receiveth. He that 
knocketh at the door, it shall be opened. Christ is the dor. If any 
one enters in by the door, he shall be saved, but he that climbeth 
up another way is a thief and a robber. To him that knocketh, 
it shall be opened, the door which is Christ. After we have knock¬ 
ed at the door and He has opened the door to us, and he would 
speak in an unknown tongue to us, how should He make us hear? 
Seeing we could’nt understand, we could’nt enter in by the door. 

The scripture says, “Everyone that seeketh, findeth.” And 
he that asketh receiveth and to him that knocketh, it shall be 
opened. So when we start to serve the Lord, we can’t serve man 
And when we don’t serve man, we can serve God. The way is 
straight and narrow and few there be that find it, because the way 
is straight. The way to death is broad and many go in that broad 
way. Then you have found the door, the voice that you hear will 
be the voice that you can understand. That is the voice of God, 


68 



which is God. For in the beginning was the word, and the word 
was with God, and the Word was God. So the word of God, which 
is God will not lead thee in error, but will lead thee safely and 
truly, protect and keep you from all the false doctrines upon the 
earth. 

Mary spoke unto Jesus and said “If thou hadst been here, 
my brother would not have died.” He saith unto her, “Thy brother 
shall rise again” Martha said, “I know he will rise at the last day,” 
at the hesurection. Jesus said, I AM THE RESURECTION and the 
life, he that believeth in me, tho he were dead, yet shall he live. 
And he that liveth and believeth in me, shall never die, believest 
thou this? 

You see then, by entering in by the true ministry, of God, 
all of those things will be revealed and come to pass and the true 
worshiper will worship Him in spirit and in truth. 

The disciples, the day of Pentecost, received the Holy Ghost 
and some of them received the spirit of fire. Their words was life 
which purified and cleansed them through the sprinkling of Jesus’ 
blood from all sin. And cleansed them from all wrong doing, 
which is called unrighteousness and their words converted the 
people for they spoke with tongues as of fire. That even cleansed 
the hearers from unbelief when they would fall to their knees and 
say “God is in thee for a truth.” 

Christ said “First of all seek ye the kingdom of God” and 
His righteousness and all of these things shall be added unto thee. 
Then He must have made it possible for thee to find the kingdom. 
He even told you what the kingdom looked like. He said “For 
the kingdom of heaven was like unto a man, that is a householder, 
that brings out of his treasures things new and old.” So you see 
the necessary thing is, to find the minister of God, that the kingdom 
is in and He will learn you Gods 4 righteousness and all things shall 
be added unto thee. So you see the trouble in this world, the 
people listening to all kinds of doctrines in the world, that has 
never been sent by the Lord, consequently they are climbing up 
other ways and not entering in by the door, which is Gods’ mouth¬ 
piece, His true and righteous minister. That is able to minister 
unto the hearers the truth that makes them free from the bondage 


69 


of this present evil world, that are ever learning and never come to 
the knowledge of the truth. 

When anybody osks of me, the question that thou has asked me, 
seeing that I am a true minister sent forth from God to speak the 
truth, which* is the word of God, that everybody can hear and under¬ 
stand plainly. By revealing Gods’ righteousness to those that have 
sought Him at my mouth. That redeems them from corruption 
and gives them power to lay down the things that is in their way 
and take hold of the things of God by faith. That is able to re¬ 
veal Gods’ righteousness unto those that shall become able to re¬ 
ceive it and worthy to receive and keep it. 

Trusting this will answer your very kind letter of inquiry, and 
when thou hast thoroughly studied it may let me hear again. 

Yours very sincerely and truly, 

Brother Isaiah.

Kirkland, Washington Feb. 5, 1923 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I am the mother of George Shafer’s wife, the one that has the 
anointed handkerchief, and I am anxious to hear from you. I 
do not doubt the work that he is doing with it, but it does not 
seem to help me. I feel that the one that does the Lords’ work, 
should not do any sin. Of course, we all make mistakes. 

Now I do not want to judge, but I feel that this is the reason 
that it does not help me. And it says in the bible, That the wicked 
go to hell and are punished forever, and now many are preaching 
there is no hell. Mr Shafer does not believe there is, but I have 
always been taught there is a hell and that there is everlasting 
life. And do not have another chance after this life. 

Now please answer this as soon as convenient as I am anxious 
to hear from you. 

Mary E. Mason. 

Box 84

Biloxi, Miss., February 27, 1923 

Mrs Mary E. Mason, 

Kind Madam: 

Kirkland, Washington. 

Your letter at hand yesterday. We got a card from the Post 
office saying that a letter was there for me without a stamp, so we 
sent the stamp and returned the card and then your letter came, 
making it so late. But I am very thankful that you wrote me and 
asked me those questions. 

I wish you would inform me if you received a handkerchief of 
me or are you using the handkerchief your daughter received? 
You should have received one from me, as there is not another 
minister on earth at this time, that has been sent by God Himself. 
Therefore, you see, that the Lord does crown every effort that I 
make, with success, providing they have the faith and believe. Of 
course, there are some people that hath believed on God thru read¬ 
ing the bible and some thru hearing it preached by someone. That 
is the reason that there are so many denominations today. Men 
preaching what they believe or what someone else has believed, 
is not called preaching, by the Lord, but babbling. Notwithstand¬ 
ing, the babblers, when they get a convert, feels a change taking 
place with them is the reason they believe in what they have re¬ 
ceived. 

Now if anyone will undertake to mix my ministry and work 
with any of the denominational people, or influences of those 
things, it certainly could not work and if it did, the person receiv¬ 
ing it, faith must be in God and in His mouth-piece, that He hath 
sent to the world to save the people from their sins and the be¬ 
lievers from their iniquities and transgressions, believeing in a 
ministry preached by parties that still was living in sinful practices. 

Now in the 14th Chapter of Revelation, we find that the 
Angel that was flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlast¬ 
ing gospel to preach, which is words of life; making the gospel 
that now comes, everlasting, both to soul and body. People 
should first prove what they have believed, before they preach 
it to others and we find in this same chapter, those that worship 
the beast or his image and received his mark in their foreheads 


71 



or in their hands and the number of his name, to be in torment 
day and night and have no rest forever and ever. This ministry 
was spoken by God The Father, and gave it unto Jesus Christ after 
His ascention and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His 
servant John, who bore the record of the word of God and testi¬ 
mony of Jesus Christ and of all things that he saw. 

Now we find that this revelation, is sealed with seven seals 
and no man in heaven, nor in earth was able to take and open the 
book and to loose the seven seals thereof, but the Lion Juda, the 
Root of David hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the 
seven seals thereof. 

Jesus Christ told the people, “If they did not believe that He 
was He, that they should die in their sins and go to hell, where the 
worm dieth not and the fire was not quenched.” 

Now He savs,“ If any man will receive the mark of the beast, 
or his image, or the number of his name, the same shal drink of 
the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mix¬ 
ture into the cup of His indignation and he shall be tormented 
with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angles and in 
the presence of the Lamb, and the smoke of their torment ascend- 
eth up forever and ever and they have no rest day nor night, who 
worship the beast and his image and whosoever receiveth the mark 
of his name.” 

Christ did not tell them that they were going to die, but 
said that ‘If they did not believe in Him, that they should die in 
their sins and go to hell where the worm dieth not and the fire is 
not quenched. So them that die in their sins, is alive, but in 
torment.” 

But now he says “If anyone will commit iniquity and trans- 
giession by believing in the false doctrines, and receive their mark 
or the number of their name, the same shall drink of the wine 
of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into 
the cup of His indignation and he shall be tormented with fire 
and brimstone, in the presence of His holy angles and in the 
presence of the Lamb.” 

So we see, that those that did’nt believe is not dead, but in 
torment and we find that if anybody worships him in wrong doc¬ 
trines, and under other names, is not going to die, but to be in 


72 


torment forever. When a person dies in their sins, shows that they 
have not believed on God, nor His Son Jesus Christ, nor one the 
one that God sent to them to turn them away from their iniquity 
and transgression, that they might believe and live. For we find, 
that those that die in their iniquity, being transgressors, does not 
live unto God, but lives unto deception where they will be in 
torment forever. 

Trusting this will answer your very kind letter, I am, 

Very sincerely and truly, 

Brother Isaiah. 

To All That Do The Will Of My Father That Sent Me. 


Kirkland, Washington February 8, 1923. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I am taking the liberty of writing you after talking with a Mr. 
Shafer, whom I accidently met here. It seemed as tho the Lord 
threw us together, as our views agree to some extent. 

I am a member of the Pentecostal church in Seattle, where I 
was saved from my sins and baptized by the Holy Ghost about two 
months ago. Praise the Lord, for He is our wonderful Saviour. 
He picked me up from the depths of sin and cleansed me from all 
my bad habits. 

Glory to His name. He hath shown me many wonderful 
visions, when I have been under the power, and also when I was’nt 
under it. 

There are a great number of verses in the scripture He showed 
me to read while seeking my baptism, especially how to fit myself 
for getting it. Oh! it is wonderful how He deals with us. I have 
been praying to get the knowledge of interpreting languages spoken 
in tongues and the other night, I verily believe He fulfilled my 
wish, as whilst under the power and speaking in tongues, I would 
speak in English, a message right after talking in tongues. I 
practically repeated it several times. 

Now while under the power that night, I was commanded by 
our Supreme Father to write to you for instructions. The command 


73 



came not only once, but at least eight or ten times so plainly one 
could not mistake your address and also as clearly written as on 
paper. What was ment by this? “Write to Brother Isaiah, Biloxi, 
Mississippi for instructions,’’ it is more than I can figure, but as 
you are a prophet of the Lord and higher in such wisdom than I, 
I ask your help as I figure the Lord hath some purpose fitted out 
for me. Blessed be His Name, that I am not aware of possibly, 
and as did people of old, came to the prophets and disciples for 
information on such views. 

I have heard so much of the miracles you wer sent to perform 
upon people, such things are so necessary now as people are grow¬ 
ing wicked and they will not pay attention to God’s word and only 
follow wordly things. Oh! it is too true I know, as I was in 
those things so deep it seemed that all hope was gone, for such 
a bad person as I, but praise God, those wordly things I used to 
follow, disgusts me absolutely. Oh! if more people would only 
see likewise. I am sending a handkerchief to be used for healing 
purposes. One that can be used on anyone. The Lord is so 
good He has healed my body from physical defects health is 
better than it has for fifteen years. 

Edw. H. Kitley, Box 122. 


Biloxi, Miss., 16, 1923 

Mr. Edw. H. Kitley, 

Kirkland, Washington. 

Kind Sir: 

Your letter of inquiry came to hand yesterday asking for in¬ 
structions, and according to your testimony, you have been saved 
fi om your sins and baptized with the Holy Ghost and delivered 
from many bad habits, and have had many visions. Yet thru 
prayer, the Father hath shown you, you claim plainly, that you 
need instructions. 

According to your own statement, you was made to know 
positively, that Brother Isaiah was the way of instruction. It is 
becoming well known over the greater part of the world, that the 
ministry that comes forth by me, is the ministry that comes forth 


74 



from God. And has been acknowledge by Him by a great many 
people that have received it. 

Therefor, I came to fulfill the scripture that Christ said 
“The law should, in no wise pass away until all be fulfilled. 5 * The 
last of the law that was to be fulfilled, is spoken by the Lord Jesus 
in the gospel according to St. Matthew, beginning at the 21st 
verse and 19th Chapter. 

In the Bible, known to be the King James’ translation. And 
not in the New Version, nor in the Methodist bibles. But the 
plain translation from the original Greek. 

Now according to your statement, you have been brought into 
the condition that you are now in about two months ago. I pre¬ 
sume you already have become informed thah there are many 
doctrines in the world, all claiming to be Bibilical and all claim 
to be right. And if you will read the 24th Chapter of Matthew, 
that Christ spoke of them all to come and if they did not come, the 
scripture could not be fulfiled. So we know that they have all now 
come. Last of all, I came, paying the full price for His Name 
sake, spoken of in this 19th Chapter of Matthew and receiving the 
hundredfold and bringing at last, that which was first. The man 
child that was to rule all Nations with a rod of iron. With the 
word that is the truth, that which was in the beginning. That 
which came with Jesus Christ; that which now, fulfills the words 
of His lips. 

The one that was doing the speaking, when you made the 
start, the name that he preached in, brought you to become a 
member of that body and under that name. But the last that is 
now come, is in God’s Name, this fulfills the prophecy and also 
the words spoken by the lips of the Lord Jesus Christ. This had 
to be prophesied to come thru all the true prophets and predestined 
and for ordained. 

That against all evil takes firm stand; 

To gather all Gods’ own 

Into one Kingdom, one fold, one temple and one tongue; 

By Divine law and order controlled; 

And life’s door is outward swung. 

Now for you to receive the proper instructions, you would 
need to be in the assembly of a church that has last come, and in 


75 


order for that to take place, would be that arrangement might be 
made for me to visit Seattle and perhaps other neighboring cities 
of the Northwest. 

When I finish in California, I was led to believe that I 
would sometime, in the near future, visit one or more of your 
cities in the near future, I have stopped working upon the sick 
and afflicted and stopped blessing handkerchiefs until I can make 
arrangements to have my script printed. That when I commence 
work again, I will be able to meet the masses of people more 
successfully in bringing about the best results. This seems to be 
the most necessary instructions that you may be able to receive at 
this time. 

Trusting that it will meet with your approval and that you 
will use all caution and carefulness to not have any transgression 
or iniquity laid to your charge. I am, 

Very sincerely and truly, 

Brother Isaiah. 

To All That Do The Will Of My Father That Hath Sent Me.

Bro. Isaiah Cudney: 

My son was healed by your photo in a vision of you. He was 
perfectly deaf in one ear and he could’nt hear real good out of 
the other one. And his speech was awful bad and he can hear 
good and speak so much better. He swallowed glass from a soda 
pop bottle and had hemmorhages forty-eight hours and when you 
healed him and he could’nt hardly eat anything and what he did 
eat it caused him to pass blood. But since he has been healed, he 
eats anything he wants. Thanks to the Lord and you. 

His name is Aboye Ellis.

of a most grateful heart. I pray to God to reward you richly and

Brother Isaiah: 

Having seen a friend of mine Mrs. L. S. Cavocia at the point 
of death, I am rejoiced to say that since she used one of the 
anointed handkerchiefs you sent to Chores, she is able to be out 
and came and spent the day with me yesterday and it is quite a 
walk from her house here. She loaned me her handkerchief and 
I know it has cured me of nervous stomach trouble. Therefore, 
I write you to tell you of the benefits received for which I am 
thankful, to the Almighty God and to you. 

I am enclosing handkerchiefs. 

Mrs. Thos. H. Burke, 43 Younglove Ave.

I got the handkerchief back o.k. and it is good and well 
pleased with it. I feel like a new man and I am going to work 
again about the first of March and then I am going to send you 
something. I thank you one million times. 

Yours truly,

From a true friend, 

Mrs. Caroline Beargez, Box 172. 


New Orleans, La., May 25, 1921. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

Just a few lines to tell the people how I was healed. It was 
on Sunday June 20th 1920, when I went to hear you preach. You 
blest a body of people of about five hundred and I was one of them, 
that received the blessing. Glory to God! I was sick for eight 
months and very, very sick. I could not eat any solid food at all 
and for awhile not any liquid food could I take. I lived on 
nothing but crushed ice for two months and finally got so I 
could take a little tea or milk. Could not sleep without medicine. 
I finally got pains across my back and they got so bad I was all 
drawn on one side and could not straighten up at all, nor could 
I sit or lie down very comfortable. I was almost helpless. I 
could not carry a chair to sit in nor could I pick up anything. I 
hardly able to get out there. It took me three hours, but I got 
out there just the same, thank God. 

When you finished preaching, you asked all those that wished 
to be healed to raise their hand and I raised mine. Glory to God, 
I went back home just as straight as I am now and no more pains, 
ate a big supper that I had’nt done for month and went to sleep 
without any medicine, have been doing fine ever since. I can 
now move pianos about the house, wardrobes and beds, dig gard¬ 
ens etc. Bless the Lord, I am so glad God hath sent you to the 
people, for we need you and you reach where no one else can or 
ever will. May the people realize what you have been sent for. 
May Gods richest blessings be upon you and your work. Many 
thanks for what you have done for me thru God, the Father from 
whom all blessing flow, I trust that these words will give many 


81 



the faith that I had, so that they wil be able to receive a great 
blessing also. God bless you, 

Mrs. W. Thames,

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I see by the papers the wonderful work you have been doing 
in New Orleans and Los Angeles and want to congratulate you for 
the many miraculous cures you have ben able to perform through 
your conception of God’s healing powers. 

How well I remember the wonderful prophecies you made in 
the earlier days of your work, while visiting us at Richmond, way 
hack in 1892 and how true they have come to pass. Perhaps you 
have forgotten it, but I have not. You prophecied the coming of 
the automobiles and the air-planes. Quoting the 4th verse of the 
2nd Chapter of Nahum “The Chariots shall rage in the streets, 
they shall jostle one against the other in the broadways; they shall 
seem like torches; they shall run like lightenings.” And the 19th 
verse of the 1st Chapter of Ezekiel. “And when the living crea¬ 
tures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.” 

I expect to come to California this Winter and will surely 
see you if you remain there. I wish you the greatest success in 
your great and noble work. 

Jacob Donehower. 


Los Angeles, Cal. 

August 3rd, 1921. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I have been intending for some time to write you a little 
note, to let you know how much I appreciate the wonder performed 
through you, in my case. 

\ou may or may not remember, a few days after you left 
“Miracle Hill,” a man coming to you on crutches at Mrs Farley’s 
cottage, and how you so kindly treated him for paralysis of the 


82 




lower limbs which came as a result of a surgical operation several 
years before. After trying doctor after doctor without result I 
lay in the hospital some twenty-four months, after which for almost 
six years I hobbled around on crutches. After trying in vain 
day after day to reach you, on “Miracle Hill,” and seeing some 
of the wonderful cures you were performing, I felt convinced your 
work must be directed by a Higher Power and had absolute faith 
that I also could be cured if I could only receive treatment from 
you. On the occasian referred to I was fortunate enought to be 
treated, and the result certainly exceeded my most sanguine ex¬ 
pectations. I was able to discard my crutches (which I have not 
used since,) and with the aid of a cane I get around quite comfort¬ 
ably, and while not yet as well as before the surgical operation, 
I am so much better that my friends, as well as myself, marvel at 
the improvement, which I feel sure will continue. 

Words cannot express my gratitude to you and to the Higher 
Power whose beneficent instrument you are. 

I expect to go to Venice next week for a short vacation and 
while there hope to have the privilege of personally thanking you 
and tendering you any assistance which I may be able to give you. 

Long may you be able to continue the good work. 

Chas. C. Bradley. 


New Orleans, La., May 1, 1921. 

Hail Brother Isaiah, Hail and thank Jesus Christ forever and 
ever for Brother Isaias is marvelous. Healing the cripples, blind, 
deaf and dumb. I have known Him two years and before he 
started preaching, I was interested in His talk and I have tried to 

see Him do all he said that he can do and much more he has 

healed me of several complaints. 

For one year and a half I hav’en touched tobacco in any form 
and I only shake His hand, until a few days ago, He blest a hand¬ 
kerchief for me. I never told Him what I wanted it for, but it 

‘ was for troubles in my rectum. Well, a few days ago on a trip, 

I felt it disappear then and there. No more bother as I know, 
this I tell for the benefit of all men and women. I have been 


83 



bothered a long time, I waited a long time before I ever could 
ask him. 

It seems strange to think that, but many times I have tried 
to get people to Him, but could’nt and again I could get to him 
immediately and He knows just as soon as He sees you, whether 
you are in a fit condition to be healed. Don’t dispair if your are 
trying to get to Him and can’t. Just keep going, it will be your 
turn sometime. I could mention thousands that I have stood and 
seen Him heal, with all kinds of ailments from toothache to cancer. 
He is immune from catching any disease. 

People are easy to forget and hard to learn, but as sure as 
the sun rises, He is given this power by our Lord Jesus Christ and 
sent in advance to show the people that our Saviour is close to 
us, if you are full of sin, you will be sick and die, but get rid of 
a lot of your sins, some of the time, if not all the time and be 
close to Him and you will lead a happy life. 

I can fill a book with the good, kind deeds that I know He 
has done for poor people without anything. They came to buy 25 
cents worth of wood, He not only gave them the wood and the 
money back, with more added to it, but took the wood home for 
them many times. 

People have been praying for near 2000 years for some sign 
of our Saviour, and overlook this orphan boy that has been given 
this power to heal and save. We had all better take notice, for 
He is telling us in His beautiful, loving way, that the day is’nt 
far away by the fulfillment of Revelations. 

Well, I will close this letter Brother Isaiah, told me He was 
going to travel and a few lines from good authority would be 
acceptable. Trusting that many may be benefitted body and soul 
as I have. 

Your truly.

Master U. S. Steamer “Tonty” 

P. S. Many employees in the Custom House here have been 
healed and benefitted, and several of my family.

Los Angeles, California Sept. 16, 1921. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

Thursday night when I came home from your meeting. I 
placed your picture under my pilow, to help me for my eyes and 
in the night, I had the most beautiful dream. 

I dreamed I could see the stairs of Heaven; I could see you at 
the top of the stairs standing there with you kind face looking 
down to us and showing us the way to heaven. The people were 
going up the stairs and you were helping them by giving them your 
hand. Everything was so beautiful. Everyone was dressed in 
white robes. 

I was at the bottom of the stairs and wanted to go up. It 
was a very hard stair to climb. I tried to go up and slipped to 
the bottom and I tried again and slipped again. Then I asked 
God to give me more faith and help to go up to you where you 
showed the way to Heaven. So He did and I reached the top to 
you and saw Heaven; it was crowded with people. Then I woke 
up. I don’t know if it was a dream or a vision sent from God, 
but it was beautiful and made me so happy and I know I am going 
to be healed. God sent me that dream to help me in my troubles. 

I have lost one eye and am losing the other, but hope I will 
be ready for you when you call me. I have been to most all your 
meetings and I know you are sent from God to heal and help us to 
heaven, and be happy forever after. 

Mrs. Adelena Laflam.

Dearest Brother Isaiah: 

I had a beautiful vision and must tell you about it. 

I saw a beautiful wax frost; it rested on a square slab of 
wax on the earth and reached to the sky and rested on another 
slab of wax, supporting the sky on the top sky the clear 
frost supported the earth and the sky and the most lovely lights, 
red, white and blue lights came out of the sky and mingled down 


85 



toward the earth through the wax pillow. It was beautiful, the 
red light turned light pink. 

Now Brother, a few days later, the Lord let me know what 
that meant. The pilow from earth to the sky was your Blessed 
body and the lovely lights were the Lord’s power mingling through 
your precious body to the whole earth. Thank God, thank God, 
thank God, Praise His and your precious name. I can never, 
never, never praise His and your precious Name enough. Well 
dear, loving Brother, am so happy to know you are free, free 
Thank God. 

Please let me hear from you as soon as its possible. Loving- 

ly-

September 26, 1921. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I want to tell you about one of the most wonderful Maracles, 
that you have performed, in this city. When I was three weeks 
old their were little RED ULCERS came on my eyes one on each 
eye and they bursted and left white Films on both eyes, leaving 
me almost blind in my left eye and about half blind in the right 
one. My parents spent hundreds of dollars trying to get my eyes 
healed, they took me to dozens of Eye Specliest’s and some of 
them were supposed to be the best in this country, but neither of 
them could heal my eyes, I have tried all kinds of eye water and 
washes that I ever heard of but without any results. 

One day their was a lady saw my poor eyes and she asked me 
why I did not go and see the Miracle Man. I told her that I had 
never heard of such a man. She told me that the Miracle man 
was healing the Sick and Preaching the True Word of God, and 
making the blind see and the deaf and dum hear and talk and the 
cripples were walking away from his platform without their 
cruches. He is healing the sick and teaching the people, the same, 
as Jesus Christ our Saviour did when he was on earth. 


86 



Well Dear Brother, I and my wife went to Miracle Hill to 
see you but their was so many people their that we could not get 
any whare near you platform, My wife said to me you never will 
get up their, but we stayed on the hill for about Four Hours, and 
after you worked on the sun, it seamed to me as if a voice said 
to me YOUR EYES WILL GET WELL WITHOUT GOING UP ON 
THAT PLATFORM I tell you brother I believe that I heard those 
words as plain as if you had said them to me your self. I know 
that if I would tell some people this, they would say that I was 
Crazy. But Thank God These Words Are Comming True and 
my eyes are getting well. 

The second day my wife and I went to miracle Hill to see you 
we found out that I could send you a handkerchief and that I could 
have my eyes heald that way, the next day we sent you a handchief 
to be blest. Thank God and you to dear Brother for my eyes 
have bin gettin better ever since. That Thick White Film Comes 
off in chunks and when I put them on a piece of paper they dry 
up and stick to the paper like glue and look some thing like fish 
scales. The Bible tell us that Jesus Christ healed a blind man 
and that the film came of of the mans eyes like scales of a fish. 
I beleive that my case is like the case that the Bible speaks of. 
Well Dear Brother my right eye is allmost clear of that white film 
and the left one is getting better every day. I know if you would 
have anointed me with oil that my eyes would have been well and 
strong to day for I believe that being anointed would give quicker 
results 

You dont know how happy and thankful I am, just think 
being allmost blind for 34 year’s and after trying most every thing 
without any results. I am only a poor man but I wouldent take 
$10,000 and have my right eye to go back like it was, not saying 
any thing about the left one. 

I want to say that my wife never belived in Miracles before, 
but she does now. She says that she knows that Brother Isaiah 
Preaches and Teaches the True Word of God and Proves it By 
HEALING THE SICK IN THE GOOD OLD BIBLE WAY. 

Healing is a part of the gospel, If ministers realy preach the 
True Word of God as did the apostles, these signs will follow 
those that believe. If men do not preach divine healing, so as 
to inspire faith for healing in their hearers, they are not preach- 


87 


ing the full gospel of Jesus Christ, to preach Christ, in the Bible 
sence means to preach him as he really is to men, Healer as well 
as Savior. 

I also want to say that you Brother Isaia are the only man 
that I have seen or heard preach that proves by the work to the 
people that you realy are preaching the True Word of God as it 
is given to us in the Bible. 

Thank God for sending you to this City to teach and heal the 
poor people and I am very thankful to you for your kindness. 

Your’s very truly 
E. E. Seeleman.

Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

After receiving your blest handkerchief, my wife and child¬ 
ren and I suffered with headackes from 1908 and from different 
sickness, my wife also had rheumatism and stomach trouble for 
many years. We all got well with the blest handkerchief. We 
spent lots of money, we had a regular drug store in our house, 
and its now a year we have spent no money for* doctor and we 
never will. I am sure you are a minister of God brother Isaiah 
and I have seen you do many miracles. With many regards from 
all the family, we are all well and happy. 

From Sam & Mary and Augutine Milich.

Dear Friend: 

I am writing you in regard to your blest handkerchief. As 
my son Geo. Shafer, came to visit me from Seattle, Washington, 
and tried the blest handkerchief on my blind eye and it has nearly 
restored it to plain sight. Oh! Dear Brother I feel that when I 
have perfect faith in the dear Lord Jesus, I will be made whole. 
I represent four generations and at present am keeping house for 
six people and doing all the house work for us all. Its not too 
bad for an old lady, at least my heart is young and we are never 
older than we feel.

something I have never seen before.

Dear Bro: 

I am writing to tell you how much beter I am and how thank¬ 
ful I am. You treated me about four weeks ago for paralyzed 
ankle and you told me I would soon walk as good as ever. Dear 
Brother, I cannot tell you how very thankful I am. My friends 
are all suprised to see me walking so good. You can’t hardly 
tell that I am crippled and when I went to you I could hardly 
walk and I had to wear a rubber brace. I wore it three years. 
Then I threw it away the day I was healed. I am working every 
day and never feel bad. From a little girl who loves you.

Muskegon, Okla., 8-10-20. 

Dear Brother: 

Just a few lines to let you know how thankful that I am that 
dear Brother has healed me from my pains. I have suffered for 
twelve years with gall stones and kidney trouble and headaches. 
Last March, I had to call the doctor for rheumatism, I had such 
pains, I could not stand up. The doctor kept me under drugs, and 
I had three of the best doctors in the State and did not do me any 
good. Then Mr. Anderson came and told me about Brother Isaiah, 
I said “If I could get up out of bed to go to New Orleans, I knew 
Brother could cure me.” My husband made me a crutch so I 
could walk to New Orleans and that was on Friday and on Sunday 
night, dear brother told us all he was going to heal on the ground, 
and he was going to heal my husband and then heal me. He 
healed my husband of catarrh and throat trouble and we are all 
free from pains and thank our dear Lord for sending our dear 
Brother to healing us all.

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

Inspiration came to me this morning to write and tell you 
of the wonderful demonstration of God’s healing power thru your 
treatment. I know you have directed treatment to me from New 
Orleafis as God has healed me this morning, after having the In¬ 
fluenza since March 4th, and also being afflicted with a large 
tumor, and you have also restored my eyesight after I hao been 
wearing glasses for years and now I can see the finest print with¬ 
out glasses, I arose from the sweetest rest, almost normal in size; 
the left side that has been so sore and painful is well and sound. 
I can pound on it and I feel ten years younger. Praise God, praise 
His holy Name. Oh! Brother, my greatest desire now it to hold 
this sweet peace and power, which is dearer to me than life. I 
want to please God and Thee for I believe all this comes to me 
thru you. Brother thou canst teach me how to hold my sweet 
treasure and to gain more. I am willing to go any place God 
guides me or to do His holy will. 

I will do all in my power to become acceptable, only to gain 
more happiness. I hate the world and its ways, and as a child, 
weaned of its mother, can turn away from all its ways.

Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

Two days before your treatment was received I was very low 
and the second night I applied your treatment. The next morn¬ 
ing all bad feeling was gone, have had no unpleasant feeling since. 
I am satisfied if my rupture was held in proper place all the time, 
a cure would be close at hand, but at times some parts will clip 
out. I try to be very careful and have derived great benefit. Mr. 
Henry Anthony told me your treatment cured him, his of long 
standing. He is the one that told me of you.

Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

I am writing thee a few lines to let you know how I am at 
this time. I got a treatment from you thru a handkerchief in 
1920, was helped and have been improving ever since. I stayed 
there at your place of treating people three or four months and 
could’nt get no treatment only thru a handkerchief. I gained 
21 pounds, more then I ever weighed in my life. Several people 
here that have had your treatments and all have been healed.

Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

The first time I ever saw you, you were healing a burnt 
baby at Tallowah, so ever since I saw you, the first time, I have 
taken you for my doctor and my healer and everything else. I 
have never taken another drop of medicine. I took your sand and 
was healed. One morning I got up and was throwing up and I 
took some sand and it healed me and I have never been sick since. 
I am just twelve years old.

Having received the handkerchief, very glad to get it. When 
I got it, I had an awful misery in my shoulder. I applied it to 
my shoulder and it was gone. I believe with all my heart this 


109 





is from God. I got one from you before and before I got the 
first one, and I could not walk, only after I used it. Now I can 
walk anywhere. I want to go, my heart don't bother me anymore. 
Kindly thanking you for your God-sent work.

Lord and asking you to continue to pray that I may get my entire

My Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I take great pleasure in writing to you. Yes, you are certain¬ 
ly Bro. and in the Lord of Hosts. We are fortunate to have you 
with us again. I am that one that spoke to you on Saturday P. M. 
in front of the California Bldg, and I supposed you were with your 
family. Am glad for you and for all Los Angeles too. We look 
for your speedy release from the trial. I might as well say that we 
at Williamsbrook would like to have you for a time to talk to us. 
Lots of work for a true man of God here. About myself, when 
I just saw you at Miracle Hill, even getting near you, I have or 
had a difficulty with my spine. It was in bad shape. I could not 
bend back without a sharp pain in the vertabra of my spine. 
While near you I noticed a quit circulation of the blood around 
that part. I found, after that, that I could bend al over. I had 
a bad and dangerous rupture double on left side. I followed 


110 




you up to the Beach and suddenly that disappeared as one mov¬ 
ing, while dressing, I saw that it was gone.

This is to thank you and Almighty God for the dry weather 
we have had since last Wednesday. That my husband and I asked 
my sister Mrs. Franzella to come and ask you to stop the rain and 
it did stop. We will need a shower of rain again about Saturday, 
not much. This is not the first time I tell my sister to ask you 
things and we always get it. My father-in-law received his blest 
handkerchief and has had great relief. Dear Brother, I want you 
to help my husband as we are in great debt and we both work 
hard, I have three children and my husband has his aged parents 
to support so please, Brother help us. My sister tells us she is

Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. 8, 1922. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I must tell you about the last handkerchief you sent to me. 
you must know I believe them blest of the Lord, or I would not 
be sending for them. Well my sewing machine would not work. 
We had paid a sewing machine man to overhaul it and I had done 
everything I knew of to fix it. And still, it would not work. Then 
the handkerchief came. We had heard your sermon. In the be¬ 
ginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word 
was God. The same was in the beginning with God, all things 
were made by Him and without Him was not anything made that 
was made and so, believing this, I placed the handkerchief on the 
machine, and thought of how Jesus rebuked the waves and that if 
it were Gods’ will that he would rebuke the machine. Then I 
placed the handkerchief between the presser and the foot and left 
it. I am having no more trouble with my machine sewing. A few 
days after that, I was standing by my machine and the perfume 
was like I was in a bed of violets.

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I am writing you that the Lord may be glorified. Bless the 
Lord. My husband used the blest handkerchief on his eyes as 
soon as we received it and also that night. In the morning his eyes 


117

Diebetic Catarac over his eyes, but thank the Lord he can see all 
right now.. 

We remain, two thankful people.

Los Angles, California. 8-1-21. 

Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

I received the handkerchief and have followed directions and 
had wonderful success. I had suffered with my eyes from a school

handkerchief to my eyes and sat down for a few minutes, and 
have been without my glasses two weeks. The pain is all gone. 

Mrs. Geo. Webb. 


Santa Cruz, Calif., 8-14-21. 

Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

On July 6th, you sent me a handkerchief, and I have waited 
to have a good, sure testimony for you. I have been very ill for 
. three years with heart trouble, in bed most of the time. Doctors 
had told me I might die any day, I have worn the handkerchief 
and the pain left me and I got up and am doing my own house 
work and have canned about three hundred quarts of fruit and 
vegetables myself alone in the last month.

Brother Isaiah: 

I am writing you that you may know that my little boy can

you have done for my boy, he has been deaf fr nine years and now 
he can hear. He thanks you a million times for the miracle you 
have performed.

Los Angeles, Calif., 8-13-21. 

Dear Brother: 

I will answer you note of instructions with the handkerchief, 
and I must say I never received anything that I was prouder of and 
it helped me right away. I receiver the handkerchief three weeks 
ago and have never used my crutch since. I can never thank you 
enough for what you have done for me. I wish you could come 
back to the Miracle Hill, I know God will bless you.

Nogales, Ariz., 8-9-21. 

Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

Having had the wonderful blessing of being healed by your 
Heavenly Father, thru yout unwaving faith of the dangerous 
cancer that I was afflicted with, I feel so grateful to God and 
grateful to you also for your righteousness to work so faithful 
for God’s whole desire. I am writing to you to show a tiny little 
bit of my appreciation. 

God only knows what it was worth to me, not only to my 
material affliction, but the salvation of my soal. 

Mayo Bros., of Rochester, Minn., considered the world’s best 
doctors, refused to treat me saying, go home, the doctors at your 
home can do you as much good as we can its a waste of time and 
money for us to treat you. Now I honestly think that the Mayos 
Brothers Institution, refusing to treat me and then going to Los 


119 




Angeles and getting the opportunity of getting healed by God, 
was nothing pure and simple, but the work of providence, that 
directed me to Los Angeles, where I was healed mind, soul and 
body and I want to say that your work is certainly blest by God 
beyound any imagination. 

J. R. Horrells. 


Nogales, Ariz., 8-15-21. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I want to tell you that from the time that you received my 
letter and even before the answer came with the handkerchief, 
that I immediately became better. I suffered with asthma and in¬ 
curable disease and also had complete collapse, but I am gaining 
strength each day now and I want to praise God for His goodness 
and thank you for your prayers. 

All my friends see such a miraculous change in my appearance.

Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

This is to thank you for the blessing you have sent my hus¬ 
band, daughter and myself. My daughter has adenoids and fever 
most of the time. My husband suffered a severe pain in his 
stomach very often for many years. In winter he always had bad 
colds and cought and headaches, but since you sent the handker¬ 
chief he has had no trouble since. He was cured before he re¬ 
ceived the handkerchief. I also was suffering of my heart, pain 
in my shoulders and eyesight. My eyesight was so bad I could’nt 
thread a needle or sew, not even with glasses, I received the hand¬ 
kerchief the 10th of January and I thank God for all blessing he 
sent thru you.

pronounce the words Papa and Mama. I, myself .have been af¬ 
flicted with a very sore finger which the doctors have not been 
able to heal, thru the handkerchief you blest for me, I have been 
cured completely. Words cannot express my feeling of joy and 
thankfulness.

Mrs. Mary Muller. 


Biloxi, Miss., April 15, 1923. 

To Whom It may Concern: 

I was in New Orleans, La., in March 1920, when I first 
heard of the Miraculous work being done by Brother Isaiah, The 
Divine healer. 


123 





At first, I did’nt believe it. I went to see through curiosity. 
When I came to the spot on the river Levee, where the work was 
being done, I saw what at first appeared to me to be an old man 
with beard and long hair like snow. I soon learned that He was 
young enought to work on the sick and afflicted, seventy-two hours 
without stopping, except for a little lunch. 

I saw people healed of all conceivable complaints, saw them 
raised from beds, cots and other improvised streachers, that were 
mere shadows. I soon came to know that anyone could be healed 
that called on Brother Isaiah, if they had the faith. 

I heard Him open the Revelations so we could understand 
them. 

One night Brother told a man, that if he would take some mud 
out of the river, that was close at hand and put it on his eyes, 
that he would be healed. Now I had suffered as long as 'I could 
remember from eye strain and headackes, had been to two eye 
specialists in Austin, Texas, where I formerly resided, but neither 
of them did me any good. One gave me some dope and the other 
put glasses on me and said that I was born with that trouble. 
When Brother spoke to the man, it occurred to me that it would 
heal my eyes, so I took some mud and put it on my eyes when I 
retired. The next morning they were straight and I had no more 
headaches. So I threw my glasses away, when I first came to 
Brother Isaiah, I was a sinner, but now I have forsaken all, and 
living in the camp of the Saints with Brother. Here He guides 
me, I am happy and contented, never know a care nor have an 
ache or pain, I am. 

Respectfully, 

(Signed) John R. Johnson..

satisfied and got the faith in you, and God the Lord.

Bro. Isaiah: 

Will write you about what the anointed handkerchief has done 
for my darling boy. His heart seems to beat as good and regular 
as anybody else. The trouble of our family was about our darl¬ 
ing boy. The doctors could not help him, but am so thankful 
we have found someone that could do the work. Oh! my tongue 
cannot express the words I want to say to you.

hospitals and doctors and they did’nt do me any good. 

The second miracle was a terrible soar throat. I could not 
swallow or tak, so I made sign for them to get Brother Isaiah, He 
could not come, but gave me an absent treatment. I received the 
blessing in my bed, it fell over me like a light showier of rain.

I am a true believer. I was in the twelve thousand people 
that was in the Park and I seen with my own eyes, Brother work 
on a woman that was blind forty-two years and she said she could 
see and she pointed to autos in the Park. 

I saw them carry a man to him and the man got up and 
walked off and left his crutches and said he would not use them 
again. And I saw a girl that was deaf and when he got thru with 
her, he would make a noise behind her and she would look around 
and I heard her speak several words. And the boy healed says 
he can sure see out of his bad eye. Hundreds here has gone crazy 
about Brother.

REVELATION OF A DREAM 

Well do I remember in the month of March 1922, The Son 
of man was revealed in a dream; I was carried in spirit to a 
scene of worldly pleasure, when I was required to sign my name 
before I could enter therein. I dreamed that my hand become 
paralyzed and I knew then that the Father was displeased. I 
then realized that the only power that I could be released was 
through Brother Isaiah. I went in search of Him and found Him 
sitting upon a roughly hewn seat leaning His head upon the slab 
of wood that supported the seat. He was in grief and sorrow. I 
spoke and asked Him “What are you grieving for?” He replied 
“Because of so much evil in this world and sin that is taking so 
many of my people away from God.” 

Brother Isaiah was revealed as the Christ, the Son of the 
living God in this and many other dreams and visions. I said in 
my dream “Brother let nothing separate me from thee for I know 
thou art my Saviour.” He said to me “Come follow Me.” And 
now that dream is true, for I have forsaken the world; given up 
all that was near or dear to my heart for His Namesake, sold my 
possessions and fulfilled that part of the scripture and now stand 
with His redeemed and am happy and contented and have the 
opportunity to live; After forsaking the foolish.

CAMP OF THE SAINTS 
To whom this may concern: 

In regards to Brother Isaiah, I beg to say in the summer of 
1921, I was taken very sick and I believe that Brother Isaiah was 
a man of God, but He was out in California, but I believed God 
would hear me so I began to call on God through Brother Isaiah, 
I kept this up until close to midnight, then He came in the spirit 
to me and laid His dear hands on me and healed me and I have 
been a well man ever since. Therefore, I know this came forth 
from God through Brother Isaiah and I am not afraid to trust Him 
for anything. 

Yours truly, 

(Signed) M. R. Davis.

kerchief for a terrible pain I had in my right Shoulder for many 
years. I tellyou just like it happened, I took my handkerchief 
like tonight to you, came back with so much pain, not able to 
sleep. Next morning when I got up, look like I could carry my

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

The wonderful cures and miracles that I have seen performed 
through you are proof positive that God is with you and will 
ever guard over you no matter what they bring to bear against 
the truth. I cannot believe that you will be compelled to abide 
by the laws of the world or that any harm shall come to you by 
their persecutions. 

When I was thrown down by the car and my back almost 
broken, I felt that God and you were the only power I could 
obtain and you came and healed me and made me able to con¬ 
tinue on my way homeward. You have healed other members 
of my family, and all are progressing in faith and in fine health. 

As ever,

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I have not words to express my gratitude for the blessing I 
have received. The mail came, I was able to get up and as I 
opened the blest handkerchief letter, a shining light came out to 
me, my throat and head was so full of cold, when I swallow, my 
throat would close and I applied the handkerchief to my throat 
and in 30 minutes my throat was entirely well. My eyes began 
to pain me I applied it and in ten minutes the pain was all gone. 
The next day my lower lip was swollen inside and I applied it and 
was healed quickly.

M. J. Marciel, being duly sworn, says; I reside at Santa 
Maria, California. I was injured in March 1920 by stepping on 
a nail which entered my foot. After three days my foot became 
worse and I consulted a doctor and he dressed my foot, my in¬ 
jured foot instead of getting better got worse, and the doctor 
advised an operation on my foot. On the doctor’s advice I had 
the operation performed but the injury became worse and within 
seventeen months I had seven different doctors treat my injured 
foot. I did not get any relief from the doctors and hearing of the 
wonderful cures of Brother Isaiah, at Venice, Cal. with blessed 
handkerchiefs I decided to try one and sent for it. After receiv¬ 
ing the handkerchief and applying it on my foot I found relief in 
a little while but I was not satisfied until I saw Brother Isaiah 
personally, in order that I might have my foot blessed by him. I 
personally saw Brother Isaihah and had him bless my foot and 


139 





now my foot is nearly healed. I was not treated by any doctors 
after the time I received your handkerchief. I hope to go to 
Venice to see Brother Isaiah and assure him that he has helped 
me. I hope that God will bless him and bring him safely through 
his trial.

LOCAL MAN GIVEN SIGHT BY BROTHER ISAIAH 

Among the many marvelous things acomplished by the Miracle 
Man, Brother Isaiah was the giving of sight to Thomas Cunnings 
of Turner Ave., Cucamonga. 

Mr Cunnings has been blind for nearly two years, and by the 
wonderful power of God given through the Miracle Man, Mr Cunn¬ 
ings received his sight, and each day his eyes are getting stronger. 


142 






He walks to the store, and does many things by himself that until 
this week he had to have assistance with. Joseph Wangler, Sr., 
of Center street also received great benefit from the treatment of 
Brother Isaiah, Mr. Wangler has been a sufferer for some time 
from severe stomach trouble but now is able to eat regular meals 
with no bad results. 

These cases are only two of the many which have been a 
success. Brother Isaiah makes the blind to see, the deaf to hear, 
and the lame to walk. In fact all that are willing to do right and 
believe in the healing power of Jesus Christ.

He Threw Crutches Away After Visiting “Brother Isaiah” at 

Hollywood 

Hugh Davidson, known to everybody here as “Scotty” one of 
the old timers of Calexico and for years a cripple, only able to 
get about on crutches is home again. He has thrown away the 
crutches and is using a cane only and getting around fast and 
easy with it. In discussing the change he said last night: “Yes, 
I saw Brother Isaiah and he didn’t even touch me but see what 
has been done.” 

He is enthusiastic over the “healer” who is now in Hollywood 
and is attracting thousands of sufferers. “Scotty,” who has a 
host of friends here, is in much better condition than for years and 
all will be pleased to learn this, no matter what the agency that 
effected the relief.

Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

I received my handkerchief you sent to me and I am so thank¬

Mrs. Farley,

Los Angeles, California. 

Dear Mrs. Farley:- 

I am writing in order to inform you as to result of treatment 
received by me from Brother Isaiah. 

During the past ten years, more or less, I have been practi¬ 
cally crippled with rheumatism, in consequence of which many 
of my joints were swollen and stiff and I was campelled to use 
crutches, and then could walk only in a bent over position with 
much pain and inconvenience. 

In addition to this I had shooting pains and could not walk 
in the mornings until about two hours after arising and then very 
slowly. 

I am now glad to say my condition has greatly improved. I 
can almost stand erect and walk without my crutches for the first 
time in a number of years. 

I would send my crutches to Brother Isaiah as is the usual 
custom, but prefer delivering them to him in person and hope 


145 






to have the pleasure of doing this at the earliest possible oppor¬ 
tunity. 

Please express my sincere gratitude to Brother Isaiah for the 
good he has accomplished. 

Very sincerely, 

Fred Davison.

Mr. John Becker,

Los Angeles, Cal. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I want to thank you Brother, for the blessing I received, 
through the handkerchief, you blessed for me. 

I had a very bad rupture, and wore a truss. After I put the 
handkerchief on, within twenty-four hours, my hupture was gone. 

It is my sineerest wish, that God, from whom you received 
those wonderful powers, may keep you a long time on this earth- 
plane, to relieve the suffering, that they may also receive the 
spiritual understanding, that nothing can be done, without Faith 
in the Lord, and his Powers. 

Many thanks Dear Brother Isaiah, from one who appreciates 
the wonderful work. 

Wishing you the best sucess, I remain 

Yours very truly, 

John Becker.

Orange, Texas. 12-30-21. 

My Dear Brother: 

I am just in receipt of your kind and cheering letter of the 
27th, and the message it contained brought joy indeed to my heart, 
for that the Lord hath given me the divine privilege of aiding you 
His Lamb, in establishing His righteousness upon the earth. Ac¬ 
cording to your words, fills my heart with the holiest happiness 
it has ever known. And my loyalty to you and the Divine cause 
you represent, shall never falter, even as I wrote you in my last 
letter, which was mailed yesterday. In answer to your postal and 
Christmas card, which I did not receive until the 27th. The little 
poem which came to me, even while I was writing, fully expresses 
the impulse of fealty to you and the holy ministry, your mortal 
body temples, which flames my very soul with an immortal glow; 
which, as I have written, “No power of death can ever dim.” 

We sail be looking forward with the happiest anticipation of 
your coming. Sincerely and lovingly,

My Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

I give glory to God for all the healing that I have received. 
I have suffered with rheumatism fifteen years and then had trouble 
with my stomach two years and the doctor had given me a rubber 
belt to wear. And wear it for 8 months. There was no relief at 
all. Had suffered with my head thirty years, wore glasses for 
eleven years, and had trouble with my heart one year. Glory to 
God that I have received my healing for the great blessing that 
Brother Isaiah has given to all the people that were there and 
when I raised up my hand, praying to God in Brother IsaialTs 
Name, to heal me for all my trouble and I thank you Brother 
Isaiah in the Name of the Lord for what you have done for me. 


148 






I can work just like a young girl and I have given up everything 
in the world for God’s sake and Brother Isaiah’s Name and I a m 
learning every day and there is a voice that has spoken to me and 
told me to go plain and I think it was the commandment of the 
Lord. It was a grand thing for me to receive the blessing. I 
give God the glory thru Brother Isaiah’s Name.

I have received the anointed handkerchief and used it accord¬ 
ing to the directions and I am proud to say, by your aid and the 
help of God, I have got relief. I was so I could’nt go in the sun 
without glassess, before I sent the handkerchief to you, but now 
I can go anywhere without them. I thank the Lord for it. The 
pain in my eyes is also gone and I feel like a new person. I will 
always thank you for the blessing.

Mr. Albert Damil, 

R. F. D. 

Pavo, Ga. 

Dear Mr. Damil: 

Your letter of June 1st received. \es, Brother Isaiah was in 
Jacksonville and did wonderful work, healing the afflicted, re¬ 
storing the sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf. It was a 
great glorious .sight, and there was thousands who witnessed the 
demonstrations. 

I have used crutches for the past 10 years and for the past 
four years could not walk but a few steps without them. After 
Brother Isaiah treated me I walked off without crutches and haven’t 
use them since, that was over two weeks ago. 

I certainly am sorry of your affliction and I know that God 
will heal you as he has others, if you will only pray and have 
patience. Brother Isaiah might come back to Jacksonville and 
when he does try and come and let him treat you. 

His address is Brother Isaiah, 426 Henry Clay Avenue, New 
Orleans, La., and if you send him a handkerchief he will treat 
you through it, returning the handkerchief to you. There are a 
great many people who have experienced healing by this method. 

With best wishes for your recovery and that you will see 
Brother Isaiah hometime, I am, 

Sincerely yours, 

L. W. Bergmann. 


Crystal Springs, Miss., April 24, 1922. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I have been thinking of writing to you for several days, but 
have put it off untill now. I received the handkerchief you sent 
me and I have received such benefit from them that it would be 
impossible for me to express my gratitude to you. I know our 
Lord can effect a cure now just as well as he did when on earth. 


150 



I am so glad He is working such miricales through you. As you 
requested I writing you that our Lord may be glorified in this 
great healing. 

I am your brother in Christ, 

M. J. Eagan. 


Ranger, Texas Oct. 19, 1922. 

Dear Brother:* 

I received the blest handkerchief yesterday, and when I opened 
it I pressed it to my eyes, which have been giving me an auful 
lot of trouble for several years, and held the hdkf., to them for a 
few moments and the pain immediately left and the haze seems 
all cleared up. I thank you and have thanked my Father in 
Heaven a thousand times that he has healed my eyes through you. 

I received the check for $300.00 yesterday and thank you so 
much, and I feel sure that Lovelace and I can and will build up a 
good business when we get the water, and if we can get a new truck 
it will be so much easier on Lovelace, as the old truck is badly 
worn out, and gives him lots of trouble; he has to spend so much 
time with the truck repairing, it hinders the delivering very grately. 

With a heart full of thankful love, I am, 

Mae E. Boswell.

Last Tuesday morning while taking my bath, I said: “Oh! 
Father, lead me aright—show me the way. Oh! Lord, I want to 
serve Thee in the fullness of the blessings of truth and show me 
whom this man, Brother Isaiah is, that I may learn the truth. 

And lo! and behold, I saw Thine image appeared in a great 
light and a voice said: “The Lamb of God that taketh away the 
sins of the world.” 

Oh! I am so unworthy, I have sinned against Thee and God; 
but, if you will receive me, I will come unto Thee. 

Your humble servant,

on the receipt of thine letter as we know the time is at hand that 
those who truly believe in God may know that God has truly 
stretched forth His hand that is not shortened to recover His people 
and He will reveal unto those that are His, who I am—that they 
may be saved and brought together in the same faith and the same 
order and same tongue—that they may co-operate in order the 
pure and peaceable and innocent life that was for to come. 

Therefore, we all rejoice together with thee and thy helpmate 
that from henceforth and forever, that peace and good will unto 
man, will always be carried out by every member of this body.

Dearest Brother Isaiah: 

I am certainly grateful for the wonderful blessing that God 
hath given me. Just the minute that I received the handkerchief, I 
felt a wonderful change come over me. I have a wonderful faith 
in God’s wonderful work. And give God all the credit, but, Dearest 
Brother, I am also wonderfully grateful to you for the faith, love 
and mercy. 

Maria W. Sortillon. 


Parlier, Calif., Oct. 16, 1921. 

My Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I just wanted to write a few lines to express my gratitude to 
you and also to let you know that I am just feeling fine since you 
worked on me about two weeks ago. I am the girl that you healed 
from malaria, rheumatism, heart trouble, lung trouble and asthma 
and I just feel fine now. The doctors told me that I would never 
get well and that I would be sick for life. But now, I am just 
as healthy as can be. When I came home and told my father about 


158 





your wonderful works and demonstrations, he got cured of the 
rheumatism that he had in his leg right then. 

May God give you twice the power and ability to carry on 
your wonderful work. I wish I could be there to help you and 
do all I could for you.

Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

This morning I am going to write you these few lines to 
let you know that I am just fine every day. And would like for 
God to help me to get well, And rest in peace. I was very bad 
when I got the handkerchief, I put on me and soon I got well and 
get better every day. 

Biss Lillie Osuna. 


Orange, Texas, Dec. 4, 1921. 

Dear Brother: 

I have been ill—contracted a very bad cold and fever, but am 
so much better now and want to tell you that I received your com¬ 
forting and most inspiring letter, which like all your divine epistles 


159 






ever brings their angel message. It always gives me pleasure to write 
you. My clear Brother, as your divine works are ever the most pre¬ 
eminent thought in my mind. And have been since I first beheld 
you and my soul recognized and paid homage to divinity that 
clothes you like a beautiful garment. Since I saw you, and received 
the sacramental blessings from your holy hands, my ransomed 
spirit, which had, for so long been shackled sat in the darkened 
chamber of its mortal abode, seeking for the light and finding it 
not, hath beheld, thank God, the portals of its gloom smitten by 
heavenly radiance in which divinity-flame and angel-beaming the 
scepter of Christ: Hath been revealed to my mortal vision, which 
hath swept it to its knees—before thine mortal feet; consecrating its 
life to thee and thine most divine cause; which bear the seal-mark 
made holily manifest of Almighty God. And that His seven-angeled 
Christ spirit lives in thine mortal body. There can be no doubt in 
my mind and in the minds of many others that divine prophecies 
may be fulfilled and the holy work of Jesus completed. And in this 
hour of trial, when the serpent is sounding the rattles, which is 
even now being heard over the world and is hissing its hatred and 
defiance at the mortal raimented word of God, even as it did more 
than nineteen centuries ago, but it cannot prevail I know. And 
this last persecution, which has troubled me so—I suppose in a few 
days will have been brought to an end. And my prayers and con¬ 
victions is that you will be delivered, Dear Brother, from this 
injustice and we are looking forward to the happy time when we 
may see you again. 

Your absence has extended into many months and we have 
missed you painfully. I am sure you have many followers there, 
whose love and sympathy will comfort and aid you in this supreme 
struggle against the man-bodied snake. 

My daughter joins me in sending sincerest love and prayers 
for the divine vanquishment of the Satan-brethed foe that I have 
written, ever pursues the path of mortal divinity. I shall be with 
you in spirit, Dear Brother, during this trial as I am at all times. 

My spirit follows thee wheresoever thou dost go; 

And the prayer of its presence, thine spirit must know. 

I shall read you the rest of this little poem when you come 
to us again. 


160 


Sincerely and affectionately your scribe, 

Lillie O’Day. 

P. S.—Please, dear brother, let us know at once the outcome of 
this arraignment—pray for and bless, your troubled scribe.—

you about my hands.

Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

I wish to make the following testimony of your work. I have 
suffered fourteen years with locomotia-ataxia. Three years ago, I 
was obliged to give up business entirely and was confined to my 
bed a large part of the time. I was healed at Venice September 
11th and since that time have been able to go anywhere I please 
unattended, often driving a car forty or fifty miles in a day. Some¬ 
thing I had been unable to do for years as medical specialists 
could not give me any relief. I am convinced that my healing was 
from God, manifested through you.

Los Angeles, Calif., May 26, 1922. 

Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

Some months ago I received the blest handkerchief which cured 
me from a bad case of tonsilitis that the doctors told me that I 
would have to be operated on for, but I thank God that I was 
entirely cured.

To My Dear Bro. Isaiah: 

A wonderful work that was performed with the power of our 
Lord; That Brother always starts. It was bright moonlight night, 
when I starts to feel a light. All that happened in the time on 
11th of July. When my dream came to me, truth that was 1922. 
I am singing little song—just how it was done. All my pain began 
to leave, and I start in strong belief, that Gods power is alright. 
When my stomach was healed so well, it was cut by falling rail. 
Believe this people, with the power that the Lord sent closed my 
stomach tight and well. Thru the hands of our dear Bro. Isaiah.

you have done for me. 

Mrs. Ada Herrington. 

Mobile, Ala., May 18, 1920. 

My dear Brother Isaiah: 

I got home safely last Wednesday and everybody seemed glad 
to see me back home. People over here tell me that my improve¬ 
ment since I got your treatment is perfectly wonderful, of course, 
some try to discourage me and say that I am not any better, but 
I know that I om, so I don’t pay any attention to them. I walked 
eight blocks Friday without resting, something I could never have 
done before, without being so tired that I could hardly move, but 
when I got back home, I wasn’t tired at all. I haven’t been able 
to get the brace that you told me to have made, as it seems like 
there is no one in Mobile who does that kind of work. I may have 
to come back over there to have them made, If I do there is a lady 
coming with me to get her arm treated. She has neuritis and the 
doctors don’t give her much relief, I told her I knew you could 
do it and she has all the faith in you. 

I suppose you are still working hard, curing people and doing 
good. I am so glad that I am improving, and a lady told me 
yesterday that I didn’t have the worried look on my face since I 
came back, like I had had before. I haven’t got time to worry, for 
thinking about getting so I can walk like other people. 

With best wishes,

Mandeville, La. May 7th 1920 

Brother Isaiah: 

I have just received your letter and the handkerchief anointed 
and blessed by the Lord’s hands and many thanks. 

Last week the doctors insisted on convincing me to go to 
Touro and have some injections made. I prayed my Father for 
guidance and when I arrived to the hospital the voice of the Holy 
Spirit spoke to my soul to get away as I was cured. So I went 
away and am here again in perfect health and happy. 

Surely the good Father has forgiven all my sins, and blessed 
me, as everything is coming lovely. I have always had strong faith 
in the mercy of our Lord, and my aim is that He guide my life un¬ 
till the end comes, of which I am sure. 

I was very glad to receive the blessed handkerchief, which I 
have pressed to my head and will keep with me forever, and I 
would love to come and see you who are much nearer to our Father 
than I am, but your time is too precious and I will leave, for later 
on when I will make it a point to call on you and learn.

The idea of making a book is a very bood one. I am certainly 


177 





glad that you still remember me and hope that you will pray to 
God about my case that my physical condition may be made 
better.

My Dear Blessed Brother: 

I can hardly find words to thank you for your prayers, and 
the handkerchief, with God’s Blessings, and I regret very much to 
say that I havn’t been a very good Christian in the past, and I am 
indeed sorry for this, although I have never goten so far away from 
my God, to forget him, but I have done those things that are against 
his wishes, and for this he has layed a heavy hand on me, and 
given me punishment with affliction, beyond the understand-ing 
of medical science, and I am now asking, him for his forgive¬ 
ness and blessing’s, and to be with me in all my undertakings and 
that his will may be done, and to thee my Blessed Brother, to 
remember me in thy prayer’s and ask thee, please to always keep 
me in touch with thee because I need help, and if it is convenient, 
to thee please answer when it pleases thee, I am,

light coming into my right eye which improved slowly until Tuesday 
when Ifound that I was able to tell different colors and also count 
my fingers at a short distance.

doing in the Name of Our Lord. 

Thanking you for the interest in my case, and praying that

Brother Isaiah: 

I received the handkerchief anointed by you and have applied 
it to the affected parts and I have certainly improved wonderfully, 
especially the heart trouble. It has not bothered me but very little 
since I received the letter. My other troubles have improved some¬ 
what and I thank God every day of my life for giving you the 
power to heal the suffering. 

If I can be of any service to you, let me know and I will do 
so. I have not much of this worlds goods, but I have faith in God 
so that is all I need to make me whole. I have told all the people 
I know about what your treatment has done for me. Thanking 
you and God for what you have done for me, 

Yours sincerely, 

Mrs. David Silva, 

218 N. 4th Street, Apalachicola, Fla. 


Dear Brother Isaiah: 

Have received the handkerchief blest by the Lord sent to me 
by you, and I am sure I have been benefitted and am sure it all 
came from God 15 or 20 minutes after I placed the handkerchief on 
my stomach and a bright light shone in front of me and lasted 
quite awhile. I have two witnesses to all this and I do feel so 
grateful to God thru you for this great blessing. I am sure I will 
get well with your prayers. Do pray for me and mine. There is 
so much good that I can do if it is God’s will for me to get stronger. 
I am looking forward to the time when you will visit our city. And 
I want you to come sure. I have a son-in-law that is in bad 
health, he will not send a handkerchief to you for this great bless¬ 
ing—con I send it to you for him? So kindly drop me a line please 


187 





for I am anxious that this poor man’s body may be healed and 
soul saved.

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

We met one Geo. Shafer of Kirkland, Washington, a day or 
two ago, who claims that his daughter was healed of blindness by 
applying a handkerchief, which was anointed by the All Power 
through your influence. Am sending a handkerchief of my own, 
which I wish you would give it that All healing Power and will 
be very thankful to you. 

Will J. Boyd 9 N. 2nd St., 

519 A Street, 

Bakersfield, California, Dec. 10, 1922 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

Your welcome letter has been received and I am very glad to 
learn that you are getting along so well. 

I am quite sure that, wherever you are you will always be 
found in the service of God and adding to his divine glory by 
curing the pain stricken and afflicted. 

People often speak of you most favorably and we all think 
very highly of your work in California because you have told of 
and demonstrated the power of God so clearly and so often that 
there can be no doubt in the matter. 

Enclosed please find four poems “When God Sets All things 
Right”—“Father I Thank You”—Father To You This Praise Is 
Given”—and “So Let Us Praise Gods Mighty Name.” 

They are not as good as I hoped they would be—Ido not 
believe any human mind can write a poem which can do justice 
to the glory of God—but, I have written these in the spirit of 
humble thankfulness for the many blessings which God has given 
me and I hope that maybe you can find occassional use for them 
in your splendid sermons and addresses. 

With all best wishes for your continued success, I am 

Always your friend, 

Dan Stockton.

and thank God and you so much for my health. I am so glad 
that I am well. 

Praney Hawkins. 

New Orleans, La., Feb. 14, 1921. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

Just a few lines telling you how I was healed. Last February, 
when you began to heal the people, in the very first piece that 
was published in the newspapers about you, I just read the first 
two lines, suddenly a feeling came over me, and I said: “That’s the 
fulfillment, and I was satisfied at that. I did not have to read 
any more. I believed right then and there, from the bottom of my 
heart—that the power had come from above. 

The next anxiety was just to ge to see your face. I felt it 
would be a blessing just to get a glance at it, which I succeded 
in doing; then, when you began to preach, I wentout on the river 
bank to hear you several times. On the Sunday of June 20, 1920, in 
the afternoon, I went again to hear you preach. I had been sick 
then for eight months; I could not sleep without medicine; could 
not eat any solid food, and lived two months on nothing but 
crushed ice. I could hardly walk as I was drawn all to one side 
from a pain in the spine and seemed as though my kidneys were 
also affected. I was almost helpless to myself. 

I was about three hours trying to get out to hear you preach. 


190 





I was in great pain, and did not know if I would be able to get 
out of the car or not. When I got to the end of the line, I just 
went anyhow and was determined to go, pain or no pain. And, glory 
to God! I have never regretted my task for going. I was healed 
right then and there, when you blessed the people by hundreds. 
Backache left at once and I went home straight,; I eat and sleep and 
have been feeling fine ever since. I am so glad the Lord hath sent 
you to the people and I know you are able to do whatever God 
want you to do. Thre is nothing impossible for you to do when 
God sees fit for it to be done. Mrs. W. Thomas. 


Aransas Pass, Tex., July 15, 1921. 
Brother Isaiah, Divine Healer, Riverside, New Orleans.: 

My Dear Sir and Brother— 

Seeing an article in the Houston Chronicle about your perfect 
healing a Lady of eye troubles after she had stated that you had 
been healing the sick and blind for over thirty years at New 
Orleans. 

Now, Brother Isaiah, I have internal cataracts coming on my 
eyes, which does not make me completely blind at present, but it is 
very hard for me to read and the cataracts are growing worse all 
the time, and the doctors say that I will grow completely blind in 
the course of a year or more or less. 

Now, I have faith in divine healing, much more so than I 
have in the M. Ds., and I have faith in you since I read the article 
in the paper, and I believe that you can treat me in absent treatments 
by magnifying a simple handkerchief, and sent it to me and in¬ 
struct me what to do, and to give me absent treatments say at 9 
p. m. for ten minutes, and I honestly beiieee that you can cure, 
my eyes inside of a weak. I would like to come to New Orleans to 
visit you personally, but I am short of money at present, but I will 
assure you that I would want to help you out handsomely if my 
eyes can be restored, whether you would accept it or not, you could 
help out the poor of your city. 

Now I ask you, in all sincerity, to answer this letter and ad¬ 
vise me just what you can do for me, and I will assure you that I 
will do my part. 

I am yours in faith and trusting in God, 

R. A. Bell, Box 100.

I want you to please remember me and keep on treating me

I have improved lots and can walk by someone holding me 
and can do lots of things that I could not before coming to you. 

May God bless you in your wonderful work is my prayer.

My Dear Sir—I hav been wanting to write you and thank you

of the great benefit that she received at your hands and from your 
treatmenh of her ills. She was very greatly benefitted and is much 
improved in health and has great faith in you and your treatment. 

I understand and know that you do not accept fees for services 
rendered, and I appreciate your position thoroughly; and, while I 
am thanking you on behalf of her and myself, I wish to express my 
appreciation in a more substantial way than mere words, so I am 
herewith inclosing you a check for $5, which I hope you will 
accept, to be used by your good self in the good cause. Again 
thanking you for your kindness, and with best wishes, I am

Brother Isaiah, Los Angeles, Calif.: 

Dear Brother—Enclosed you will find a handkerchief and 
stamped, addressed envelope so you may bless and return to me. 

With the first handkerchief that you sent me I have been re¬ 
lieved very much from my nose; something that I had not had for 
two years, and all my rheumatic pains are nearly gone. My stom¬ 
ach is also in a much better condition. I am sending in another 
handkerchief because the one I have is pretty well worn out with 


192 




so many washings. 

God help you Brother, I am, 

Mrs. L. T. Maldonado. 


Venice, Cal., Sept. 55, 1921 
To Brother Isaiah, Los Angeles, Calif.: 

Dear Mrother—We wish through this letter to thank God and 
Brother Isaiah for healing our boys, William C. Ellison, age 13 
and Howard F. Ellison, age 8. William was born with a red spot 
in the corner of his right eye and as he grew we noticed that he 
was cross eyed. The eye turned toward the nose. 

When he started to school at the age of six, he complained 
of headaches and had to miss school many days on account of 
sickness. We took him to an occulist in Los Angeles and he advised 
that he was partly blind in one eye and did not see well with the 
other as well as being cross eyed. He further advised us that 
he would have to wear glasses and perhaps, by the time he was 
twenty-one, he might be able to correct the eyes so he could get 
along without the glasses. But the eyes never seemed to improve, 
even after wearing the glasses for several years. 

Howard’s yes were not crossed, but the occulist advised he was 
partly blind in the right eye and did not see well out of the other. 
Howard had the same trouble at school as William, with sick head¬ 
aches and had to stay out of school many days. Doctors also ad¬ 
vised that Howard’s chest was not fully developed, which caused 
some of his sickness. 

September 11th God was good enough to permit Brother 
Isaiah to heal our boys, so they could start to school on Monday 
the 12th. Their eyes are now straight and they can study their 
books and see the blackboard from any part of the school room 
without the aid of glasses. The sick headaches have disappeared 
and they are well and enjoying the pleasures of this world like 
other boys. 

There are no words nor pen that can express our thanks 
to God and Brother Isaiah for what they have done for our 
two boys. 

Yours truly, 

Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ellison, 

15 Paloma Ave., Venice, Calif.

Guadalupe, Calif., Oct. 19, 1921. 


Brother Isaiah: 

I want to thank you very much for the good you have done me 
with the handkerchief. For three years I used my crutches and

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed 
by Official Seal the da and year firve above written.

Notary Public in and for Santo Barbara County,

July 5, 1921. 

Hon. Will H. Hays, Postmaster General, Washington, D. C.: 

Sir—Isaiah Cudney, of New Orleans, popularly known as 
“Brother Isaiah the Miracle Man,” and as a divine healer, is at this 
time a house guest of Mrs. E. R. Farley, 1421 Regina Lane, Los 
Angeles, Calif. 

His ministrations in public here have attracted such large 
gatherings that the City Council of Los Angeles has taken the initia¬ 
tive in courteously tendering him the use of Exposition Park for 
his meetings, with a view, as the official offer of the Council reads 
“to give Brother Isaiah the greatest opportunity possible to heal 
the sick and afflicted of the city.” 

Brother Isaiah solicits no money or other consideration. 

In the course of his work Brother Isaiah offers to anoint and 


194 



bless handkerchiefs sent to him through the mail or otherwise. 
These handkerchiefs after receiving his attention are returned to the 
sender. A vast quantity of letters, approximating 25,000 in num¬ 
ber have been received by him at Mrs. Farley’s address. Some 
of these letters containing handkerchiefs intended for Brother 
Isaiah are addressed to Mrs. Farley. These latter receive his atten¬ 
tion indiscriminately with those addressed directly to him. 

Accompanying some of these letters are small amounts of 
money, presumably intended as gifts. In totality the amounts so 
received are negligible. 

The procedure of Brother Isaiah is to use the amounts of 
money received to help defray postage shortages and the small 
expenses incident to the handling of the letters. Should the amount 
so received exced these expenditures he uses the balance to buy 
and distribute food to the poor and to help those suffering and 
afflicted persons who come to him. His personal maintenance and 
considerable of the expense incident to his work is defrayed through 
the charity of his benefactors. His benefactress here is Mrs. Farley. 

My purpose in reciting these facts in detail is that you may 
be advised that the procedure of Brother Isaiah here is identical with 
that followed by him in New Orleans. The records of your De¬ 
partment will show that your local representatives at New Orleans 
have not only thoroughly gone into the work of Brother Isaiah 
there, but have sanctioned and approved all that he is doing insofar 
as his work comes within the jurisdiction of your department. 

Providing it is consistent with Departmental procedure, I am 
asking for a copy of the New Orleans report in such form as is 
provided. It would appear that under the wide discretionary au¬ 
thority vested in you by Section 596 U. S. Revised Statutes, and 
more specifically by the Act of Congress of March 2, 1895, ex¬ 
tending the powers conferred upon you by Section 3929 R. S., as 
amended by the Act of September 19, 1890, such information could 
be consistently given. Should your ruling be contrary-wise, I will 
thank you for the assignment of your local representatives here in 
Los Angeles to make the fullest inquiry into the work of Brother 
Isaiah here, and a public statement of their findings if such is con¬ 
sistent with Departmental procedure under the provisions of the 
statutory authority I have referred to. 

Thanking you for a telegraphic reply should you find it con- 


195 


venient to make your answer in that form, I am, 

Yours respectfully, 

Lin William Price, 

Atty., representing Brother Isaiah Cudney and Mrs. E. R. Farley.

Biloxi, Miss., March 8, 1923. 

Mr. W. P. Walsh, Long Beach, Calif.: 

Kind Sir—Your letter to Mr. Ellison of January 4th, he sent 
to me. March 5th it reached me and I was very glad to hear from 
thee and to learn of thy experience and blessing received from My 
Father, for you had believed on the One that God hath sent into 
th world. Therefore, receiving access of Him through prayer, hav¬ 
ing believed on His Namesake, His Bodysake, His kingdom, His 
power and glory forever and ever, Amen. 

Yes, all of the ones who My Father send to me, and they be¬ 
come reconciled to His ways, by keeping His commandments and 
wills to come, may come and partake of the Water of Life freely. 

Yes, indeed, I have spent a great deal of time hunting for a 
place that I could feel was ordered of the Lord, and I made several 
trips to this section of the country, and as last became settled 
at this place for a while at least. We have a very desirable loca¬ 
tion. Fine shade trees, beautiful spring water, soft as rain water 
and all the land we have been able to attend, and we want enough 
that we can become self-supporting and not have to work hard, 
but by co-operative system, we are all a help to one another. Makes 
us a free people and not a slave to any—working for ourselves, 
that which is good. 

Wanted to get our script out that will help us in getting along, 
so your dream was true. I spent many days, but am now settled 
and become satisfied that it is the Lords’ will that this little body of 
people and those who belong to it, may have an opportunity to live 
out a pure life and overcome by being away from the evilders, 
and people who are disobedient to all reason. We are very happy 
here most of the time. We have quite a good deal of farming 
under headway and trust that thou wilt write me early and let me 
know your condition and what is the desire of your mind. And 
just what you would like to do. 

We have a nice little bunch of people, all of us being interested 


196 



and contented in carrying on the warfare of truth. 

Trusting this will reach you early and that thou wilt be bene¬ 
fited by it, I am, 

Very sincerely and truly, 

Brother Isaiah, 

To All That do the Will of My Father. 


Long Beach, Calif., Jan. 4, 1923. 
Mr. Ellison, care Ellison Apartments, Venice, Calif.: 

Dear Sir—I would like to know where Brother Isaiah is located 
now, if you happen to know. It seems a very long time since he was 
here and if the Lord wills I want to go and be with him again and 
hear the Wonderful Truth and Wisdom from his lips for I consider 
him, without a doubt, the smartest man on earth, there is no guess¬ 
ing with him. His words, given him from above, are hard to be 
understood, for many has ways that must be altered and he is in¬ 
clined to be rebillious, in some of the most simple of his words 
I find the wonderful message only after a year of careful striving 
and fighting opposition that seems to overwhelm me at times, but 
I have found that pure faith in the words of the Lord always gives 
me the victory for they are living words. I was bathing not long 
ago in the ocean and stepped upon a stinging ray—I suppose you 
know what they are, if not I hope you never step on one. I was 
coming out of the water after a swim when bang! seemed as though 
a piano had fallen on me. I pulled my leg up and there was a 
barb in my ankle behind the shin bone on the inside of my foot 
two and a quarter inches long. I yanked it out and blood streamed 
out and the pain was terrible. The hole was about one-half-inch 
deep and perfectly round. You could put your little finger in it. 
I came out of the water and asked the Lord to heal me. Medicines 
and doctors came into my mind, but I shooed them out and went 
up to my folks’ home. They were in the water at the time, and I 
took a shower and was dressing when dad camein. My wound had 
stopped bleeding and I felt recovering from the shock, but I did 
something that I heard Brother say not to do and that is to speak 
of anything to anyone else when you have anything the matter with 
you. I told dad and right away I felt my strength start leaving 
me and it was only by resisting that weakness that I kept from 
fainting. I found out that when you let go of faith you feel as a 


197 



person does who is being held up and suddenly lets them down. 
I asked dad to pray with me and I went in and ate dinner, never 
said anything to mother, told her I had gotten a little chilly in the 
water. Well the pain left me that evening in a very short time. I 
walked around the house as straight as ever and mother never knew 
until I told her a month later. I never put anything whatsoever on 
it, just wrapped a piece of handkerchief around it to keep my 
sock away from it as much as possible. The swelling was hardly 
noticeable and it healed just as I asked the Lord that it would heal, 
without trouble. How wonderful are the mercies of the Lord. I 
have found that i tis the same with everything you have need of. 
Faith in th Lord gives you the victory and how wonderful it is to 
help others to know that. 

To take the name of the Lord with sincerity, and produce! Not 
to take the name of the Lord in vain, as Brother says: “To do good 
things in the place of evil things.” I thank you for your trouble, 
Mr. Ellison, and cannot express my gratitude for helping Brother 
Isaiah during his persecution. You were wonderfully honored by 
the Lord. I would dearly prize such a most wonderful honor, for 
Brother Isaiah does as the Lord commanded Peter “Feed My Sheep,” 
and he feeds them the true unadulterated doctrine of Jesus Christ. 

I sent a letter to Brother quite a while ago care your ad¬ 
dress and I had a dream of you coming to me and telling me that 
Brother went to see about a farm or place for his people. 

My sincere regards, 

W. P. Walsh, Box 526, Long Beach, Calif. 

Texaco, New Mexico, Nov. 21, 1920. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

Your message of October 6th received and applied. I have 
been for over a year to lie on my right hip. I applied the hand¬

symptoms since. And I praise God for I know it is in and through 
His mighty power that I have been healed.

has used it as directed and says, tell you it has benefitted her greatly. 
She had great pain in her shoulder. Used the handkerchief; in a 
few minutes the pain was in her elbow. In a few minutes the 
pain was gone entirely. She uses the handkerchief over her lungs 
and says she breathes better than she did.

you will stay until everyone is healed—not only of the body but 
of the soul.

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

With my kindest and most dear words, I am writing Brother 
Isaiah about my mother—that when we received your welcome 
letter, we did not know what to do and how to thank God. And to 
pray to Him, and when my mother started to use the anointed 
handkerchief, blessed of the Lord, she felt much better. And, 
Brother, I am very thankful that she was so lucky and God didn’t 
forget about us. With my Lord’s word, I am sending this letter 
and hope to hear from you soon.

New Orleans, La., May 3, 1918. 

Mrs. Amando Colberg, Sandusky, Mich: 

By God’s will I come to tell you what the Lord has done for me. 

On the 1st of November, 1916, I went on the border of the 
Mississippi River, between Calhoun Street and Henry Clay Avenue, 
and I inquired for Brother Isaiah Cudney. After I found him I 
explained all my troubles. I was wrecked from head to foot, every 
organ of my body was poisoned. I had ten of the best doctors 
treat me; none of them could do me any good. They did me 
worse because they were settling my case more deep to the bone. I 
was with one foot in the grave and the other on the ground. I had 
a specialist China doctor, told me that I had a cancer, the other 
one told me I had consumption and others were treating me for 
liver trouble. I was always sick; all my money was for doctors 
and medicine and I had hard luck and never could put a dollar 
aside. Besides the doctor, I had an Indian lady, she claimed that 
she could cure my sickness. And she could do nothing for me. 

The same winter she was treating me I felt sick and took to bed 
for seven weeks. I had a terrible pain in my side. After seven 
weeks I got up and doctors sent me across the lake, in the piney 
woods, where I stayed three weeks. This did not relieve me. I had 
those pains. In the morning I was not able to breathe for the pain. 

Thank God that I met Brother Isaiah Cudney, all those chronic 
cases are gone. I have several terrible blows on my body since I 
was a child that no doctor could cure. I passed seven pieces of 
gravels, some of them as big as a grain of corn. That is im¬ 
possible for anyone to pass without an operation. But through 
Him they came out. It is impossible to believe the condition of my 
body, anyone but myself. But I thank God He gave me a chance 
to meet Brother Isaiah Cudney. I am a well man now. 

Besides me, He saved my little girl six years old. She was 
at the point of death from losing her blood. From falling on an 
iron (picket) fence and ruptered her fountion and was bleeding 
to death. The doctors could do nothing. If I hadn’t gone to Him, 
in about one hour she would have been dead. 

The second time he saved her from eating poisoned candy. 


202 



Brother Isaiah is a man of God. It is not impossible for Him to 
do anything through God Almighty. He lives on the river bank 
in a houseboat named Living Stone. He is an example to all the 
world, the life that He lives of truth and He is true and just and 
innocent as a lamb. I saw plenty of wonderful things through 
His hands. This is a true copy from me.

Friend Isaiah: 

I received your Mich, letter in due time. I was glad to hear 
you got home all right. I wondered if you would go right South 
or stay in Grand Rapids a spell. My brother, Will, lives in Grand 
Rapids. He comes out here every Saturday. I told him you had 
been here. He remembered you well; how spry you used to be, 
and what things you used to do better than I could. I certainly 
was surprised to see you and you could remember every one you 
used to know so vividly—such a memory. 

I don’t know of a Mrs. Thompson that you speak of. I went to 
Muskegon last week to see if I could get me some glasses that 
I could see better with than these I have, but I could not so will 
have to do the best I can with what I have. I am a rheumatic old 
person, pretty old too. I am quite lame. Would feel good if it 
wasn’t for being so lame by spells. Mr. Tibbitts has been quite sick 
since you was here, but it is a little better again, his mind is badly 
shaken; can’t remember. I don’t see how you believe as you do. 
I dont suppose we can all think alike; every one according to our 


205 





own belief. You can explain if you wish. I am glad you wrote 
me and told me where you are. I hope you will let me know of 
your abiding place. Live right as you are taught in the Good 
Book. If you like to hear from me write again. 

Your friend, 

L. J. Sipes. 


Mrs. L. J. Sipes, Ravena, Mich.: 

My Kind Dear Friend: Of long ago; 

To a poor little orphan boy, 

That loved you true. 

For many things that came to pass, 

In those days when God alone 

Did guide my path. 

One thing did happen long ago that is fresh in my memory 
as if it had happened yesterday. It started at the school house when 
Gidney Bertron and Cass Bradford and Isaiah too, went skating on 
the creek below at the noon hour. We left our dinner in the house 
and rushed away at a rapid pace. We put on the skates and took 
many a fall, then rushed away listening for the bell to call; so, in 
our rapid pace, feeling we would be late, we saw the teacher in 
the door ringing the bell, we thought for sure. And, when we 
came, we were a little late. The teacher said, three things we would 
have to do. Her name, it was Miss Johnson, a cheerful, joyful 
girl; but still she said '‘One of these three things you’ll have to do: 
You will have to stand on the floor two hours and not look off of 
your book or take a whipping, or leave school.” 

Cass Bradford said: “That all those punishments, teacher, are 
very hard, I don't want to get a whipping, nor I don’t want to leave 
school, and I dont think I can stand on the floor two hours without 
looking off of my book or smiling when I see all the scholars look¬ 
ing at me, but I will try to do that.” 

Gidney Burton said :“I will take a whipping,” and 

Brother Isaiah said: “I’ll leave school.” So I grabbed my 
books and started fof the door. Miss Johnson came to stop me 
and in the tussel she called for Cass Bradford’s brother to help her 
and they managed to get my books away from me, but I got out 
and went to the place that I called home, where only John and 


206 



Viney lived and the little orphan boy who loved them and would 
not do anything to displease them for anything. When John saw 
me come home at such an early hour, said: “How is it that you 
came home so early? I told him I had left school. “No you 
haven’t was the reply, "How did this happen?’ 

“Cass Bradford and Sidney Burton went skating and Cass 
aske dme to go. I tolyd him I couldn’t skate and Cass said ‘You 
never will skate if you don’t try.’ Well I said “I have no skates.” 
He said “I will borrow a pair for you.” So I agreed and away we 
fled, not stopping to eat. Said we’d do that at afternoon recess. 
And the rule was if anyone was five minutes late, they would have 
to be punished. None of us thought we were five minutes late, but 
the teacher said so. So these three punishments were placed upon 
us and we had the right to choose which one we would have, so I 
chose leaving school. After I had told my story to John, he said: 
“I’ll see to that that you don’t leave school.” That night the teacher 
came to our place and after supper they talked about my case and 
the teacher said she was very sorry, that she wanted me to come 
back to school and that I shouldn’t be punished. She said she was 
to blame, and John and Viney both spoke very kindly to me and 
told me I must return to school in the morning, but I told them I 
didn't see how I could break my word, but they said that was 
nothing, so in the morning they fixed my dinner and the teacher’s 
dinner and told me I would have to go along with the teacher and to 
carry the dinner. I said I would. So, when we got to the school 
house I returned to the home and went to chopping wood, thinking 
they would let me work and not bother me any more about going to 
school. But John called me in and with Viney, his wife, talked to 
me with many kind words and exhorted me that I would have to 
return to school. I told them that I couldn’t break my word. What 
I have spoken must stand. John told me that if I was found there 
to-morrow morning after 8 o’clock he would give me such a 
whipping I would never forget it. Viney said: “You don’t know 
what an awful angry man John is when he gets mad’ and told me 
I must hasten away to school and be sure and not be at home at 
8 o’clock for John would do just what he said. 

So in the morning, after I got my chores all done, I took 
my position on the wood pile. And was very busy chopping wood. 
John walked by and went to the barn and after a while I saw him 


207 


returning with a strap in his hand. I saw it was a check rein. A 
cross rein from a double harness that he used in the summer time 
for a bell strap on a cow. This strap had a buckle on one end and 
a billet and buckle on the other end. He doubled it in his hand 
about the right length that he could strike a severe blow with. When 
he came along where I was, he said “you get your coat and vest 
off and come in here.” Of course, it was winter weather and quite 
cold. I went in, took off my coat and vest and John stood before 
me and commenced to strap me over the right shoulder. The end of 
those straps took in my shoulder blade and the upper part of my 
spine, and he did not change, he just struck me right in the same 

place. Every blow seemed to be harder. He continued this until 

he was nearly exhausted for breath. Viney sat and looked on, 
but I could see the teardrops fall from her eyes, and I was ex¬ 
pecting her to befriend me. I never cried, nor murmured. 

When the blood was running so freely upon the floor, and 
every blow seemed to me would be the last one, for I knew I 
couldn’t stand any longer, Viney sprang to her feet and said: 
“John, stop! You are going to kill this boy and then you’ll be 

hung.” Then he grabbed me and threw me on the floor. With 

very angry words he ran out and slammed the door. Viney came 
and took me to the lounge and got some salt and water and got to 
bathing my wounds, and while she was bathing my wounds John 
came in. “Get his duds and get him out of here as quick as you 
can, or I’ll finish the work.” Then Viney made haste and got 
me ready as quick as possible. She fixed a little hand-satchel with 
a few things in it and told me to make haste. Of course, I couldn’t 
use my right hand at all, but I managed to carry the little satchel 

with my left hand, and I had to go right down past the school 

house and Mr. Spencer lived across the road and a little towards 
town from the school house and they took me in and bathed my 
wounds and cared for me for three weeks. There was no one 
there but himself and wife. Then I went to work for Bill Thompson 
in the lumber woods driving a team. 

So what John told me he would do, that he would give me 
such a whipping that I never would forget. So you see he told 
me the truth. I never could forget one thing about it, but I felt 
that I would rather die than to break my word. I have no ill 

feeling toward John, nor never did have. I always loved him and 


208 


believed he was a great friend to me, and I feel so yet and I be¬ 
lieve that this had to happen. I believe that God caused this to be, 
caused the teacher to do like she did that I was never to go to 
school. 

In books of men He was not schooled, 

Like tablets snowy white; 

Angels’ fair hands His pure mind ruled, 

That God upon it might write. 

He sent Him in His Son’s place, 

Weakened faith to revive; 

L^nbeliefs’ dark powers to efface, 

The gates of Hell to rive. 

The young man who assisted the teacher in managing to get 
my books from me, was Andrew Bradford. My youngest sister was 
there and saw it take place. She is now Amanda Colberg. 

This is the first time I ever wrote this up and for what reason 
I have done so I cannot tell, but trust that this testimony will 
appeal to your memory and much good may be derived from the 
words that the true memory has brought in print to-day. 

Trusting that this will answer your very kind letter, and find 
you well and prosperous and happy, I am, 

Very truly and sincerely, 

Brother Isaiah. 


Belvedere Gardens, Feb. 26, 1923. 

Dearest Brother Isaiah: 

I will now answer your very dear letter of the 8th while supper 
is cooking. Just think, Brother dear, two years ago to-day I was 
lying on my deathbed and to-day I am doing nearly all the cooking 
in our home and am well and doing fine. Yes, Brother dear, I 
sure would love to see your blessed face out here again. 

We are having lovely weather out here now. Kathleen’s folks 
were out to see me for a few minutes last Friday, also Miss McKee 
the Friday before. She is looking just fine. Do you ever hear 
from Irene? We have some grapes and strawberries on our place 
now, besides some garden we have put out also three fruit trees. I 
have been crocheting some beautiful lace lately and doing some 
sewing. 

Dear Brother, there is a friend here who has a Hawaiian steel 


209 



guitar and they let me have it for one afternoon and I know it was 
God who showed me how to play it for I learned to play it in one 
afternoon without any persons help. They make the most beauti¬ 
ful music you ever heard. I just love them, and if I only had the 
thirty dollars to buy one I could play some nice music for you the 
next time we meet. Oh I would be so happy. I dreamed the other 
night of being in a beautiful large room with the most wonderful 
musical instruments. I have had some beautiful visions since you 
left. I am so glad you have a nice place for your camp. Well do I 
remember my first trip to Miracle Hill, and every day since. It is a 
perfect joy to go back over those days gone by and recall all the 
beautiful things that were accomplished. It makes me feel good 
just to think of them. My brother, Thomas, sends his love and best 
wishes to you and says he is going to write to you some time. He 
certainly loves you, Brother, and so does mama and my sisters. 
They also send you all their love. We are all for you first, last 
and all the time. Well, Brother dear, I will close for this time, 
hoping to hear from you real soon. I am as ever your true friend, 

I am sending you a clipping and would like to know what you 
think of it. 

(Miss) Idella Young. 

Biloxi, Miss., March 5, 1923. 

M iss Idella \oung, Los Angeles, Calif.: 

Kind Lady—Your letter of February 20th at hand March 3rd 
and we were much more than glad to receive it. Of course, you 
know that I am always rejoicing in those that hath believed in God 
the Father our Lord Jesus Christ by my ministry, that hath proven 
that it is true and you have believed my words, and have felt the 
touch of His pure love towards His dear ones that hath been in 
bondage to the power of Satan for so long. 

Certainly you could never forget the unchangeable and visible 
presence of the truth itself, manifested in so many that even the 
world itself cannot dispute His claims. 

Yes, Idella, you should remember the instruction you received 
by the Lord’s own mouthpiece in regard to reading anybody’s writ¬ 
ings from any other writer concerning your welfare and prosperity 
and in keeping you true to Him that you have proved is true and 
right and just in all things. 


210 



I am very thankful you are standing in the faith and all 
your people. I have not heard Ironi Irene since I came away. I 
was well pleased that you wrote me concerning the guitar. I would 
be much more than pleased when you will be able to be with me 
and to assist me in opening up my meetings with the guitar. So I 
will send you a check that you may get one. 

You see that you are united to the true faidi and see that thou 
wouldst not be disconnected with God by joining anything else 
upon the earth, tor the moment that you do that, you would be 
disconnected with Me and with all the heavenly forces of God’s 
unchangeable Kingdom. 

If you read the first chapter of Revelation, you will see that 
God don't send or work through or talk through a female—always 
a male. l\ow, when you receive this letter and the check, you will 
not say anything to anyone about it, but you just go to the bank and 
cash it and bring the guitar home with you—this you do so that 
you surely get it, for someone might want to use the money and say 
that they would give it back in a little while and you would not 
get your guitar, when the Lord wants you to have it. It may be 
that I had better send you a F. 0. Money Order. Idella, you ought 
to keep all of the letters you receive from me, for they will come 
useful in reading them over and keeping you mindful of the true 
way. 

Trusting this will answer your very kind letter and it will meet 
with your approval, I am, very sincerely and truly, 

Brother Isaiah. 

Biloxi, Miss., March 5, 1923. 

Miss Idella Young, Los Angeles, Calif.: 

In answer to you request concerning to know the truth in 
regard to the newspaper clipping you sent me: 

First: The statement given by Miss Spore, taken to be the 
future, is mistaken. For this statement came forth from rulers 
that hath passed away and remain as they were while in the body, 
believing in the very statement that Miss Spore wrote, but they 
are the past and their information comes from the past and from 
what they hope and believe in would take place. 

Second. We should not leave the Scriptures and the teachings 
of our Lord and Saviour and listen to fairy tales. How that God 


211 


declares that in the end, that He will rule and righteousness shall 
cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. And not be mindful 
to listen to the instructions of the Lord Jesus Christ, that came 
forth by the Scriptures fulfilling all the scriptures, written con¬ 
cerning Him any prophesied all the future, even to the end. That 
His righteous kingdom should rule all the earth. Now, if Germany 
is a God-fearing people, and a nation that has the reputation of 
being industrious and a disarmed and peaceable nation, and will¬ 
ing to remain peaceable, all of the rest of the nations upon the earth 
should be at peace with her. But, if the balance of the whole 
world can keep still and look upon such a nation to be forced 
into anger by the bayonet, then God’s righteousness is not ruling, 
among the nations. 

Third. And, as to the question concerning a religious war, 
will say: There never has been a religious war, nor never will be. 
All war is anything but religious. 

Fourth. And as to the United States—what part they will 
play in the future, remains whether they will receive the true 
ministry that hath now come and proved itself—that does bring 
health and prosperity and happiness and good will toward men, 
without money and without price. According to the prophecies of 
the Scriptures, seeing that she is a free and independent people, 
believes in liberty and freedom and should be the head of all 
nations and all nations should be controlled by her government. 
When God’s righteousness accepted by her and has a voice with her. 

Trusting this will answer your request, I am, 

Very sincerely and truly, 

Brother Isaiah.

bycicle and my rupture did’nt come out and it never will come 
out again. It cured all my pains, God has got lots of power has’nt 
He? Thats a wonderful picture of you, where God’s light shines 
upon you and your bible. 

John A. Kuypers, 75 Elvado Drive. 


Biloxi, Miss., June 14, 1923. 

It was at 1421 Regina Lane, Los Angeles, California, at Mrs. 
E. R. Farley’s on a high elevation where I stood when the photog¬ 
raphers came and requested a picture. They wanted me to stand a 
certain way and laugh a little and I told them to “let me stand as I 
will, and let God have one picture.” They granted my request, so 
I took my Bible and took my position as I would, and the picture 


223 






was taken and this light came down from heaven, covering my 
head and Bible. Just enough of the Bible left visible that you could 
tell that it was the Bible. It also showed the three fingers that is 
the fulfillment of the prophecy in the -40th Chapter of Isaiah, in 
the 12th verse, in the old manuscript: “Be comforted, be comforted, 
my people, saith your God. Speak ye to the heart of Jerusalem, 
and call tel her: for her evil is come to an end, her iniquity is for¬ 
given: she hath received of the hand of the Lord double for all 
her sins. 

“The voice of one crying in the desert: prepare ye the way of 
th£ Lord; make straight in the wilderness the paths of our God. 

“Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill 
shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and 
the rough ways plain. 

“And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh 
together shall see, that the mouth of the Lord hath spoken. 

“The voice of one, saying: Cry. And I said: What shall I 
cry All flesh is grass, and all the glory thereof as the flower of 
the field. 

“The grass is withered, and the flower is fallen because the 
spirit of the Lord hath blown upon it. Indeed, the people is grass: 

“The grass is withered, and the flower is fallen: but the word 
of our Lord endureth forever. 

“Get thee upon a high mountain, thou that bringest good tid¬ 
ings to Sion: Lift up thy voice with strength, thou that bringest 
good tidings to Jerusalem: Lift it up, fear not. Say to the cities 
of Juda: Behold your God: 

“Behold the Lord God shall come with strength, and His arm 
shall rule: behold His reward is with him, and his work is be¬ 
fore him. 

“He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather to¬ 
gether the lambs with his arm, and shall take them up inhis bosom, 
and he himself shall carry them that are with young. 

“Whom hath measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, 
and weighed the heavens with His palm4 Who hath poised with 
three fingers the bulk of the earth, and weighed the mountains 
in scales, and the hills in a balance?”

Biloxi, Miss., June 14, 1923. 

The time being come that God’s banner may be unfurled: 
Unfurled to the whole world, that purity and virtue in its highest 
sense is the abiding place of God. Therefore, this flag as the colors 
white, for purity; blue, for virtue; the gold color represents the 
Kingdom of God. Accompanying the true purity and virtue. 

The crown represents the God-Head bodily, the twelve stars, 
the twelve Apostles of the Lamb. That Christ promised to be with 
and never forsake them forever. 

The seven stars in the blue represents the seven churches which 
all of them are virtuous, and divine. The One that hath the keys 
to unlock the seals of those churches, is the Lion of Juda, the Root 
of David. The Lord, the Christ with us. Whose flesh was the word 
and the word flesh. 


CAMP OF THE SAINTS. 

Oh, don’t you remember what dear Brother said, 
Last night when He stood on the stand; 
When He held out His hands, 

“Come be one of my band? 

At the camp of the saints now at hand.” 
How sweet it will be, all of us, you and me, 
From the cares of this world to be free. 

To till the sweet ground, 

And wear the same colored gowns, 

Far away from the world and its frowns. 
(Repeat the last three lines.) 

Then come, be brothers and sisters so true, 
Come work ’neath His flag gold, white and blue. 
And praise and bless His name 
The sweet summer days thru. 

Guided by our dear Shepherd so true. 

When we sit neath the porch 
With its roses so sweet, 

And listen to the warble of the birds 
And join their sweet songs 
Of love to the morn, 

Like dew on the rose newly born. 

And join their sweet tsongs 

Of praise to the Lord 

Like the dew on the rose newly born. 


225

COME TO THE FOLD 
The spirit and the bride say come, 

To God’s Kingdom and His fold— 

And them that are athirst may come, 

And work ’neath the flag, white, blue and gold. 

And whomsoever will, let them come, 

And drink of this Water of Life; 

That where He is, there ye may be also; 

Cast away the dark mantle of strife. 

Then come, sinner come and receive; 

All that God hath for thee. 

With Christ to reign a thousand years— 

And to dwell with Him eternally. 

He changes our bodies, like His own 
Precious One to be; 

He wipes away all our tears, 

And from the curse sets us free. 

Human affection and all kindred ties, 

Are all severed by His love divine; 

Consolation and power within Him lies— 

To blot out sin—then peace is Thine. 

To all sin-scarred souls who are seeking rest; 

Come join the One who can save, 

To stand among God’s redeemed and blest; 

The first-fruits of this resurectiaon day. 

He is here in the cloud, with great glory; 

And as lightning is seen from East to West— 

His power to heal, makes a happy story— 

To all those who receive handkerchiefs He blest. 
(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah’s ministry of Truth coming forth 
from God, by Mrs. Helen B. Cannon.) 


NEAR THE BANKS OF THAT LONE RIVER. 
(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by Mrs. Clara Corine Martin,) 
Near the banks of that lone river; 

Where its murky waters flow 
Dwells the purest Saint that ever 
Came to heal all ills and woes. 

How He met and loved and parted— 

He has told us all before— 


226 



When one day His Saviour told Him— 

“You must take your cross and go.” 

Then like a poor lone, little child, 

He went forth so meek and mild— 

Thru woods and plains, o’er hills and rills, 
Many long, long, long weary miles. 

How sweet ’twill sound to Him some day— 
How sweet to hear His Saviour say: 

“Well done, thou good and faithful child”; 
Then He will see His heavenly smile. 

Now bow your head and wear this crown; 
That you have won with great renown; 

For you have served your Master true; 

’Neath the flag, gold, white and blue. 

Then like a stream with lillies laden; 

With life’s future current flow; 

Until in heaven He’ll meet the maiden— 
Lost and mourned for long years ago. 

Hearts love, like His forgets not; 

They’re the same in weal or woe, 

And the star of memory sets not, 

In the grave of years ago. 

Near the banks of that lone river; 

Where the water lillies grow, 

Lived the fairest flower that ever 
Beamed and mourned long, long ago. 


THE NARROW ROAD 

Wait patiently until you come to the end of the road; 

Hallowed by thy holily annointed; 

Whose life of sacrifice, so overwhelmingly great, 

By the Father and Son, He was truly appointed. 

We know, kind people, He came from God; 

To teach and guide us in truth and grace; 

God’s given healing power with which He is endowed; 
The rod of iron that rules all Nations and sets the pace. 

We can see Christ in every line of His form and face, 
His meek and lowly trend; 


227 



And when we enter in this eternal race, 

No more sorrow our hearts doth rend. 

He tarried not, after it was revealed to Him; 

That He was God’s chosen one, 

But straightwaiy made ready with haste and vim; 

To perform the works His Father had to be done. 

He traveled seven thousand long, weary miles, 

His companion, the faithful white horse; 

Enduring all vicissitudes with a cheerful smile, 

For you and for me, He hath borne the cross. 

He knocked at the door of many sin-scarred souls, 

But few of them opened unto Him; 

Others turned away to hoard up their silver and gold, 

Carroling death’s unholy requiem. 

They knew not, that they turned away their Saviour, 

That they were committing a great wrong; 

For they were not to be among God’s chosen, 

Not worthy to learn the Lambs new song. 

But as many as welcomed and received Him, 

Gave He them the power to become 
The sons of God, redeemed to wear His diadem; 

By the Lamb that stood on Mount Zion. 

Many of them opened unto Him; 

When He conquered their pain and strife; 

Their names He wrote in His heart as men 
Who were worthy to receive the Book of Life. 

He has braved the wild steers in Oklahoma, 

With only a stick in His hand, 

While walking afoot and alone passed them— 

This was never done by any man. 

Brother Isaiah stood there bravely; 

He knew He was not alone; 

He waved them back at His Father’s command, 

It is proof that God takes care of His own. 

Now this man of God, has been known 
Powerful beasts to control; 

To perform wonders on the sun; it is shown— 

He is the shepherd of God’s fold. 

Biloxi, Miss., May 6, 1923. —Mrs. Helen B. Cannon.

SATAN BEGINS HIS COMPETITION. 


The wicked, in their dives of iniquitous unrest. 

Where Satan reigns o’er all supreme, 

Pinioning their souls to the sad fate of the unblest— 

Flowing in pleasure’s tinseled stream. 

Pouring forth their unholy libations against whom they have transgressed; 
Seeking in ruinous intent all souls to enmesh; 

Employing all the powers of evil with which they are possessed. 

On with their song and dance, unheeding God’s holy cause; 

Even seeking His holy ones to enroll— 

In Satan’s darkest pits to fling, without a pause 

Those dear ones whose names are written upon God’s scroll. 

Without regret, to see they are fast sinking into perdition; 

Thru his wiles he ensnares all those who are easy victims— 

In his hands, they are subject to his sedition; 

Their cup of sorrow filled to its putrid brim. 

Then God, in His thundering voice thwarts their fond hopes; 

His flashing lightning brings heavy downpour of rain— 

Slashing their signs that guide belligerant pedestrians 
To their sad destiny that could only bring them pain. 

Satan is ever employing all his glittering wiles; 

Trying God’s own elect to deceive; 

In continually ensnaring the easy victims to beguile; 

Heed him not, pleasure-loving souls, your loss he can n’er retrieve. 

For sin, like a serpent, always leaves its slimy trail 
Upon the victims it has held in its santanic grasp; 

Its the innocent ones he always seeks to flail— 

Death, the only portion he will deal to you at last. 

Oh! sinners, Christ came a ransom to pay 

For the souls of men who will a new life begin; 

(Teaching us in His blessed Name to pray 
For the opportunity of eternal life to win. 

Then, kind people, did He shed His precious blood in vain; 

Will you heed not now His call? 

Wouldst thou believe not His promise ‘1 will come again”? 

For He is here now, giving this blessed privilege to all!

ISAIAH, THE MIRACLE MAN. 

Behold a man of great renown, 

Residing on God’s hallowed ground, 

On the mighty Mississippi. 

This king here reigns supreme; 

* His wonderful powers redeem. 

:' > Every afflicted soul he will free 

Regardless of either sex or creed. 

) • 

J — ' ’ ' . ' 4 l 

Into this world of great fame, 

Some would most eagerly claim 
A power to heal; his divine blessings flow 
Instead of glamour and show. 

A miracle man gratefully bestows 
His mighty wonderful powers galore. 

5213 Prytania Street, New Orleans, La. 

(Gratefully written by an ardent admirer who was healed.) 


Of THE BANKS OF THE MISSISSIPPI. 

I have a dear Saviour, whse hair is white like snow, 

Where the sun shines so bright, and low, speet peace 
He has spoken to mee, bless His dear Name. If you will 
Only come to the banks of the Mississippi, you will find 
Him, too, where the weeping willows grow and the billows 
No longer roll. 

Last night when I was sleeping I had a happy, happy dream. 

I dreamed of our dear Saviour on the banks of the Mississipp 
Where the weeping willows grow and the billows no longer roll. 

He is the Way, the Truth and the Light; he gives us the 
Blessing from God’s own hand; he is the Good Sherherd; He giveth 
His life for His sheep, where the weeping willows grow 
And the billows no longer roll. 

God gave him to us to show the things which must come to 
Pass, and to bare the Testimony of Jesus Christ he will 
Show you all things on the banks of the Mississippi, where 
The weeping willows grow and the billows no longer roll. 

JESUS CALLS YOU AND ME. 

Jesus is calling both you and me 
Calling, now can’t you see? 

Calls day and night— 

Tho we reject with all our might. 

If you’ll but listen to His plea 

You 11 realize He’s been so long calling you and me. 


230 






He sent His beloved Son here— 

His Name is Brother Isaiah; 

Put your faith and trust in Him— 

Come without fear. 

The time sure is here 
Open wide your heart, 

From old Satan depart. 

Come to-day, without longing delay. 

Make now your start, can’t you see 
He’s calling now, both you and me? 

Turn away from sin, let Him enter into your soul— 
Remember, you can be one of His fold. 

Be guided by His dear Son, 

For on this earth we’ll find no other One. 

Come to-day and He will show you the way; 

He’ll teach us how to pray. 

He’s still calling you and me; 

Can’t you see? 

I thank Thee, dear God, for this beautiful shining gem; 

To Thee I have near come all thru Him. 

So, friends, can’t you see 
He’s calling you and me? 

He begs us to turn away from bitter sin; 

He teaches us if we follow Him. 

The heavenly gates are opened, 

So we may all enter in. 

— Mrs. Sadye Harper. 


HOW I WAS HEALED. 

Brather Isaiah healed me by blessing my handkerchief. 

And he showed me a pure river of Water of Life clear as 
Crystal proceeding out of the throne 
Of God and the Lamb. 

He appeared to me at mid-night, in a dream, and spoke these 
Words: “Follow the Lamb, for he is a man from God’s own hand.” 
This is our dear brother, Isaiah. I saw him and his band 
In heaven and he took me in. 

Christ said: “Take up thy cross and follow Me; forsake father 
And mother—everything. Follow Me, that our Father which is 
In heaven may be glorified”, in our dear Brather Isaiah. 


231 



Following him, I know I am right, for he is God’s child sent 
Down from heaven to heal and to save poor sinners like me. 

And he sat up on the throne and said "behold, I make all things 
new,” and he said unto me “write, for these words are true 
And faithful that our Father may be glorified in our dear 
Brother Isaiah, for he is our Lord.” , 

Now I am ready to live for Him, serve Him, die for Him, just 
Like Mary and Martha sat at His feet to do His bidding; for 
He is the Lamb, sitting on the right hand of God. 

Just like Jesus, so meek and so lowly; there is no friend like 
Him; praise His holy name—our dear Brother Isaiah. 

His hair is so silver white, as a Lamb without blemish, 

And without spot. He is an angel come down from heaven 
To dwell with us—our dear Brother Isaiah. 


THE STAR. 

Our dear Brother laid his precious hands on me 
And I was healed. I saw him just like Christ. 

God spoke to me and said: “follow him. for he is my son 
In whom I am well pleased.” He is the star sent down from 
Heaven to show the straight and narrow way. 

He is the Star from the East, the Bright and Morning Star. 

God hath sent him that we may fall as his feet and 
Worship him for he is our Lord. 

Now, this is heaven to us for we have the star of olden times 
To show us the way. He is a holy child just like Jesus. 

There is none like him; praise his holy name. 

He will cleanse us from all sins, for the Father is 
In him, and he is the Father, the Bright and Morning Star. 

Heaven is open to us. The Guilding Star is here for you and for me. 


TO BROTHER ISAIAH. 

Thank God for your coming, 0 Man Divine, 

To this world racked with sorrow and pain! 
Thank Him for the life-giving touch of thine, 
Bringing health, strength and peace again! 

Praise God for the Christ that you bring to me, 
Who have longed this same Christ to know— 
Praise Him that His Son comes to earth again 
’Midst sickness and sorrow to go! 


232 




Bless God that He comes to the poor in soul, 

To the lowest and weakest of Earth. 

Bless Him for the touch that makes sick bodies whole; 

For the love that gives Man a new birth! 

Oh, long have we waited your coming to tell 
Of the Christ who is able to heal 
All diseases of earth, every man to make well— 

All the judgments of sin to repeal! 

We wait for your hand on our bodies so ill, 

And know that your touch will bring power; 

That God, in His mercy, each word will fulfill; 

With glories from Heaven will shower. 

Each sin-weary soul that asks blessing of Him 
With a heart full of faith to believe, 

Whose lamps are well-filled, with wicks all a-trim 
The bridegroom, Himself, to receive. 

Look down on His children, who need Him today— 

Reach out with your God-touch, Divine— 

With hearts all contrite to the Master we pray: 

“God! Heal this poor body of mine!” 

To God be the glory for blessings bestown 
Thru you, Man of God, to all men! 

Thank God for His love all so tenderly shown 
In bodies made whole once again! 

— H. J. B., 6-21’21 


COME TO THE SHOW. 

Come, give me your hand, 

For tonight we will stand, 

With sin to forever depart. 

Then come to the show; 

Now, don’t be so slow 

For the true road lies here you all know. 

Don’t fall by the way, 

Be brave, simply say: 

‘I give up all now to my God;” 

And the heavens will ring, 

And the angels will sing 

Their sweet song to welcome you in. 


233 



Chorus 

Then come, make a start, 

Make old Satan smart, 

To see he has lost in the race, 

And you’ll feel so proud, 

To look up in the clouds, 

And see the sweet smile on His face. 

No more sorrow or tears, 

No more doubts or fears, 

Nothing but joy and bliss; 

For the Saviour waits near, 

You all know He is here, 

Then come to him now without fear. 

(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by the author, Corinne Martin, healed May 26, 
1920. Three and one-half years on crutches.) 


THE HEALER. 

Calm and serene at the river’s edge, 

This Healer stands to-day— 

And those who go to Him in faith; 

He will not turn away. 

As the Saviour stood on Galilee, 

In the days of long ago— 

This sturdy Healer stands to-day— 

Where the Mississippi waters flow. 

Oh! sin-sick, wounded, bleeding hearts— 
Bound by afflictions’ chain; 

Go thou to Him in child-like faith 
And live and love again. 

Love not the sinful beast of flesh— 

Nor sin in any of its part; 

But He, Who gave this power to heal— 
Each wounded, bleeding heart. 

“Go, dip in Jordan,” Jesus said, 

To the lepers in the days of old; 
And seven times they went and dipped— 
And their faith had made them whole. 
The widowed mother’s son was dead, 

Her soul bowed down with pain; 

And Jesus said: “If thou dost believe 

Thy son shall live again.” 

The mother said: “Lord, I believe”; 

The son came forth to live; 


234 



Such gifts as these to hum n hearts; 

There’s none but Christ can give. 

He came to earth in form of man, 

Both human and Divine— 

That He might know and understand— 

Such lives as yours and mine. 

On yonder’s turbulent river banks, 

Wrapped up in mortal clay— 

This man of God, with healing power— 
Came forth to dwell today. 

Go thou to Him; Oh, weary souls, 

For none but Christ can give, 

This power to heal all earthly woes 
And let this mortal body live. 

Oh! would that I might go to-day, 

To every sad, afflicted soul 
And point them to this perfect faith; 

For Christ alone can make them whole. 

I bow my soul in prayer to-day, 

’Tis all I have to give 
That human hearts may chain their faith 
And look to Christ and live. 


HEALER DIVINE 

Healer divine, so grand and sublime, 

The life spreading vine. 

Our souls to entwine. 

Thou wert the star so mildly beaming, 

Shone o’er our path when all was dark and dreary. 
He’s waiting here with all His love and power, 

Come to him now without pride, without fear. 

Oh! what would I give 
For some sweet inspiration 
To say what I feel? 

At his feet I could kneel. 

Just to thank him with all my heart and soul, 

For his great love, and his blessings untold. 

Morn, noon and night, where’er I may be, 

Fondly I’m dreaming of Jesus and thee. 

And now let us all try to remember, 

What he has said that we all must surrender 
Everything within that looks like sin, 

Washed pure as snow before we can come to Him. 


235 



Then come to the Lamb, the pure and spotless Lamb; 

He is our shepherd, we the sheep of his fold. 

(Compliments of Clara Corinne Martin, the author, healed May 26, 1920. 

On crutches three and one-half years.) 


THE CALL OF JESUS. 

(Sung to the tune of “Just Before The Battle Mother”.) 

Oh! listen to the call of Jesus, 

Gently knocking at your door; 

Open wide the heavy portal, 

Bid Him enter and abide. 

Cast aside the heavy burden. 

The yoke of sin you’ve worn so long, 

Don’t you know that heaven is open, 

And its pearly gates ajar? 

i Chorus 

Blessed Jesus, how I love you, 

Just look what you have done for me; 

Though far from Thee I had wandered, 

O’er life’ sdark and stormy sea. 

Blessed Jesus, how we missed Thee 
When Satan had us in his grasp; 

How he strove to forge the fetters, 

’Round our souls so strong and fast; 

We, dear friends, to him were list’ning, 

To his false and glittering wiles, 

He knew that we were weak and fickle, 

And easy victims to beguile. 

\ 

Then thank our God from heaven afar, 

He sent to us this shining star; 

In His strong hand a bright sharp sickle, 

He cut the bonds, and set me free. 

(Compliments of Clara Corinne Martin, to Brother Isaiah, healed May 26, 
1920. On crutches three and one-half years.) 


TWO DIVINE HEALERS. 
It was at the pool of Bethesadia, that 
The people came and Christ did heal; 
Then they went away rejoicing, 

As in their souls did feel; 

The surging billows of His power— 
’Oer all their beings roll 


236 




He did not alone heal their bodies 
He, as well, healed their souls. 

Now another has come along, 

Our Brother Isaiah, dear 
Who heals the people, makes them strong 
And casts out all their fear. 

New sight restored to the blind, 

New life to the halt and lame, 

Oh! this brother is so very kind. 

All afflictions to Him are the same. 

The very dead He hath even raised, 

The paraletic, too, he heals, 

To God alone he gives the praise, 

All diseases to His power yields. 

He has done all the good he can, 

And doing it—it is God’s will, 

He is called the Miracle Man, 

And Christs’ promise is fulfilled. 

The Gospel's seed is being scattered, 

He preaches as well as heals; 

He is very meek .nd is not flattered; 
The gospel sword he wields. 

He has forsaken his kindred dear, 

His home ties have all been broken; 

He tells a loving message clear, 

In everything that He has spoken. 

People are healed daily by the Word, 

And when he presents the cause, 

They go to Him in their distress 
And lays hands on them all. 

This laying on will heal the sick; 

When it is done by faith and belief; 

The work is accomplished very quick, 

And brings about relief. 

Trusses and crutches are cast away— 

As soon as the word is believed; 

Christ becomes a shield and stay, 

When the people His message receive. 


237 


Brother Isaiah was sent out from God, 

As he hath so beautifuly spoken; 

The path of faith he long hath trod— 

And has shown us many a token. 

We have seen the lame made to walk, 

The deaf ones made to hear, 

The dumb persons made to talk; 

By this man of God, so dear. 

Their joys are all unbounded, 

As with new life—have been filled, 

Satan has been all confounded, 

The wild ones are being stilled. 

Ulcers and tumors have been cast out, 

Tubercular knees have been made strong; 

Rheumatism h s been put to route, 

And everything else that is wrong. 

The people feel their ills drop away, 

Like a mantle—being cast aside, 

When they obey what God has truly said, 

Of the love of Christ who died. 

That He might take away all sin 
If they only believe on Him; 

And keep Him in their hearts alway— 

They feel this new life within. 

New life, new joy, new being, 

Is promised to all who believe; 

The hearing—talking—and seeing, 

Are given to all who receive.

TO OUR PROPHET AND KING. 

(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by Mrs. Helen B. Cannon.) 

Biloxi, Miss. 

To exist in Thy gracious presence; 

To bask in the sunshine of Thy smile; 

Is the only blessing in this wicked world 
That makes life worth while. 

No power like Thine, so pure and divine. 

To restore the golden gleam of youth; 


238 



No love so sweet and sublime. 

As the pow’r of God’s given truth. 

This great King, He hath sent to this world, 

To drive dull care and pain away; 

Each hour, each day are as precious pearls, 

As we travel on to that perfect day. 

Whose hair is white like wool, as white as snow, 
Fulfilling the scriptures so plain; 

As did dear Jesus so long ago; 

He performs miracles in God’s holy Name. 

Whose eyes as a flame of fire, 

That kindles in true hearts holy flame; 

One glance penetrates, satisfies thy desire, 

And is worth more than wealth or fame. 

Whose feet, like fine brass, 

In holy paths they’ve trod; 

He came to deliver us from our past, 

And bring us from under the rod. 

His voice, as the sound of many waters; 

His countenance as the shining sun; 

He rights all wrongs in worldly matters; 

’Tis plain, He’s God’s annointed one. 


Biloxi, Miss., March 19, 1923. 
Father, we thank Thee for the faith 
Thou hast so lovingly given; 

For virtue so pure and chaste, 

That we know comes straight from heaven. 

For knowledge, Father kind and true; 

That dear Brother does impart 
Alike to Gentile and the Jew, 

Enkindling hope in each true heart. 

He teaches temperance in all we do; 

In this great school of truth thru Love; 

To each other we must be kind and true, 

Our daily bread comes from above. 

Gentle patience, we all must learn, 

From envy and malice to be free, 


239 



I 


From worldly things we are taught to turn— 

And live and work for Thee. 

Godliness, we are striving to embrace, 

Guided by dear Brother’s hand— 

Hopeful promise—we shall see his face, 

And join His heavenly band. 

Brotherly kindness, we must practice; 

In our daily walk of life, 

To make each and every sacrifice, 

To avoid envying and strife. 

When we may don our spotless robe. 

Our feet upon charity’s fair shore— 

We will escape Satan’s heavy probe. 

And dwell with Him for ever more.

HOW I WAS CALLED. 

One night whilst I was sleeping, 

There came a dream so fair; 

An angel of peace appeared before me, 

And bade me to prepare 

His written messages to receive, 

Thru His dear Son, Brother Isaiah. 

Afflicted and lost, I was wandering, 

Upon the mountain of sin; 

Oh! thanks to God, dear Brother came 
To unburden our hearts of vice within; 

His mission—to follow the steps of Jesus 

All old things pass away; and new life begins. 

I dreamed that I was kneeling, 

In repentance and fervent prayer 

When I saw one approaching near me; 

And lo! Brother Isaiah stood there. 

A crown of God’s great glory, 

Shone upon his face so fair. 

He spoke and I listened earnestly, 

To all the words he said: 

“Are you coming to God absolutely?” 

God’s message, I knew, I had read; 


240 



He leaned gently toward me; 

His hand o’er my bowed head. 

‘"And not look back,” he commanded; 

“To become worthy of the Kingdom of God; 
To follow the footsteps of Jesus; 

If we escape going under the sod. 

If we stand among the redeemed; 

In Christ’s holy paths we trod. 

“Yes, Brother, I want to come; 

As soon as God prepares the way; 

When the conflict of this world is done 
I’m anxious for that happy day; 

When free from all earthly ties; 

And no one can say nay.” 

“That’s what you had better do,” 

He sternly said to me; 

From afflictions He delivered me 
I owe my life to thee. 

Thy servant, Praise thy holy name; 

In life I’ll ever be. 

(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by Mrs. Helen B. 


THE LOVE THAT MADE ME FREE. 

From the clamour of this wicked world; 

Thy ministry hath made me free— 

It’s the Christ love like golden chains; 

That binds my heart to thee. 

I stood by the side of the Mississippi River, 
Among many souls who were seeking rest; 
Unworthy I knew, like many others— 

Who had borne the fiery test; 

Of many years of sorrow and pain; 

Seeking, but found no relief— 

Only to fall into Satan’s grasp again; 

And found nothing but pain and grief. 

Brother Isaiah is coming, 

Went up from the anxiously waiting crowd 
Bringing hope, banishing all doubt; 

As He waits upon the meek and proud. 


Cannon.) 


241 



“He is King of kings, and Lord of lords”; 

Kept ringing in my ears; 

As nearer He came and I saw His face; 

Which put to flight all doubts and fears. 

That evening Brother healed me; 

And placed my feet on that narrow way— 

And with His redeemed I firmly stand; 

Praising God for that happy day. 

Restored sight to my affected eyes; 

And from all pain delivered me; 

This, kind people, do believe 
Is the Love that made me free. 

March 26, 1923. 

(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by Mrs. Helen B. Cannon.) 

IN GOD’S VINEYARD. 

God, our Father, is so kind and good to me; 

He fills my life with fragrant flowers, 

From pain and sickness we are free; 

Employment fills our fleeting hours. 

Employment, which is enjoyment— 

Makes up our daily lives— 

Good heart occupation, is health and salvation— 

Like plants in God’s vineyard we thrive. 

Each one has their own vocation; 

And lend their willing hands, 

To make a generous donation; 

Some till the soil and clear the lands. 

God’s beautiful birds cheer us with song; 

As we journey on upon our way; 

No bright day ever seems to long, 

- Health makes perfect each blessed day. 

Like flowers, in God’s beautiful garden, 

Nourished by His dew and rain; 

He will guide us by His love so ardent, 

Until we return back to Eden again. 

Oh! thanks for this blessed privilege; 

In His vineyard to work and Love, 

To escape the world that is frivolous. 

Hovering o’er us peace’s whitewinged dove. 


242 





Now while we enjoy our blessings, 

We are free from the pain and strife, 

Our goal, if we faint not, nor grow weary 
We may gain eternal life. 

Biloxi, Miss., April 10, 1923. 

•(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by Mrs. Helen B. Cannon.) 


OUR COMFORTER IS HERE. 

Even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, 

Who is sent here to comfort us in time of great need; 

(He is able to save souls, all your pains to relieve, 

The only price He asks, only trust Him and believe. 

One morning He visited me in spirit and I felt our Comforter was there. 

I took my blest handkerchief from the Bible, and sweet fragrance, like rarest 
flowers permeated the air. 

This power I knew was from our most Omnipotent Father. 

He blest my food that morning, as it tasted so good and sweet. 

By this great power He hath proven, that vegetables and fruit of the trees 
is meant for us to eat. 

That by this ministry He is gathering God’s chosen ones, into His fold. 

He feeds His flock like a shepherd; He gently guides them 

In paths of righteousness; He teaches them to follow the foosteps of Jesus, 

Until we become like polished and rarest gems; 

Forgetting all the world and its way that are so hollow. 

The Kingdom of God is now at hand, the Scripture is being fulfilled. 

There is no time for envying and strife. 

In harmony and peace we must ever live. 

Christ’s promise—we can attain—to have eternal life. 

He wipes away all our tears, sorrows are unknown; 

He makes us forget our worldly friends. 

Their affairs and cares all from us have flown, 

As we travel on—all our trials to end. 

Now this is our Great Comforter, the one Jesus said He would send. 

He is able to redeem us from our worldly sins; 

To bring peace on earth, good will toward all men, 

And help all of us a new life to begin.

WHERE WE ARE WAITING AND WATCHING FOR HIM. 

(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by Mrs. Helen B. Cannon.) 

Upon the banks of that calm bay, 

Where all is quiet and still, 

God’s true followers spend pleasant days; 

In useful employment, each hour is filled. 

Where the waveless tide flows in and out, 

Far away from the turbulent sea; 

Here we are free from all troubles and doubt, 

Hope springs in each heart eternally. 

’Neath the pines and the majestic oaks, 

With its protecting branches, 

We are content with our abode and boats, 

By the song-birds we are enchanted. 

Brother Isaiah works untiringly, 

Sending blessings all over the land; 

To many thousands of pain-stricken and afflicted 
Thru handkerchiefs blest by His mighty hands. 

Look far out by the sea, where the rushing waters 
Sing the world to sleep; 

There, as everywhere ,is the story of life love and death 
Its bottomless pits so deep. 

Of life, filled with its thousands of changing episodes, 

Of love, purely human affection, destined to not run smooth, 

Pain, sorrow and tribulation takes up its abode, 

And death that blots out all with his hand so rude. 

But here, as nowhere else on earth, is the story of life, 

That God hath laid out for His chosen ones; 

Where we toil not hard, with no pain, sickness or strife, 

And wait patiently until our Master comes. 

Everywhere in this old world, is this sad story of life, 

Love and death, that blots out all. 

For all those who are beguiled by Satan; 

As into his dark pits they fall. 

In all the world and over the sea, 

You'll find them struggling with Satan; 

With no hope for life or eternity, 

As upon sensitive souls he is grating. 


244 


Brother Isaiah is never idle, no task is every too small, 

He blesses the little children—works alike for them all. 

He meets all the evil that arises, with His pleasant smile; 

He protects God’s own little ones, that Satan tries hard to beguile. 

We need no buildings of architectural design; 

Where God’s chosen are content to abide, 

In an humble cottage we are happy and resigned 

Under God’s protection to hide. 

We dwell in the mansion of stone, 

That meets every demand, 

In the temple that came down from heaven, 

And its not made by the hands of men. 

So here in our humble abode, with its lantern lights so dim; 

He always filds us waitingfi yet waiting tand watching for Him. 


GOD’S POWERFUL LOVE. 

Oh! Father, Thy great Love so pure; 

Is manifested in each plant, each flower, 

Thou bast kept all Thy promises so true, 

And proven it by Thy mighty power. 

The reproduction of life in everything, 

Makes all creations passingly fair, 

And all Thy creatures that are on the wing, 
Their sweet music fills the air. 

Thou hast taken us by Thy power of Love, 
Unto Thy holy, annointed One; 

Redeemed from this present earthly abode, 
And Satan’s power o’er us is undone. 

Oh! blessed promise—I will come again; 

And receive you unto Myself, 

From sin and deceit we must all refrain 
Then the power of evil is bereft. 

Greater Love hath no man than this— 

That he lay down His life for his friends, 

When we receive God’s holy kiss 
Our earthly trials are at an end. 

The budding trees, with tinted leaves, 

Speak of Thy love in voiceless praise, 


245 



Proving in truth Brother has the keys, 

To guide us, and keep us from the grave. 

The warbling birds are on the wing— 

Praising God in their simple way; 

Heralding the approach of gentle spring, 

By singing their tuneful lay. 

The flowers abloom, with frangrance rare, 

• Speak of Thy love in mute appeal— 

But last of all and greater than all, 

Thou hast sent dear Brother here to heal. 

Biloxi, Miss., April 14, 1923.

THE MIRACLE MAN. 

Brother Isaiah, the Miracle Man, 

Who is the agent of Love; 18 

To heal the children of man, 

In the name of Him above. 

Who makes the blind eyes see, 

And helps the lame to walk; 

He heals the sick so free, 

And makes the dumb talk. 

A word of faith He sends, 

As we our sins regret; 

And love, with life He bleeds. 

To cancel all our debts. 

He throws a light of Love divine, 

To swell the hearts of all; 

And sin it will dissolve, 

If we listen to Jesus’ call. 

t r i j : 

He brings a message full of love, 

Lrom all our suffering pain; 

He brings from God above, 

When we will meet again. 

(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by H. H. James.) 

(Lovingly dedicated to Mrother Isaiah by Cecilia Miller, 2108 Cove Street, 

Los Angeles, California.) 

0 Man of God! Unfurl thy banner 
And let to all Nations wave. oo 


246 




Christ’s Herald is again among us, 

The sick and suffering world to save. 

Upon a hill, so well befitting, 

The sick—the lame—the halt—the blind— 

Have struggled up in pain and suffering 
To grasp the Power of this Mind. 

God’s own good man, so meek and lowly, 

No task too humble to perform, 

Those gentle hands reach out and grasp mine, 

Behold! A Miracle is born. 

0 Father! To the poor and helpless 
Thy word resounds upon the hill; 

Thou hast sent this man to slay affliction, 

And even bid the sun be still. 

The word surrounds in pomp and glory— 

And as of old, can scarce believe; 

I see God bright in all His glory, 

Thru one who comes not to deceive. 

Dear old Man, I love those white hairs, 

And thank Thee, God above, 

Thou hast sent this man to teach me 
To know humility and love. 

Let all the world peal forth in gladness, 

And praise unto His Holy Name, 

There is no death, there is no sadness 
If we but seek the Crown to gain. 

0 gentle Presence, Peace and Love and Power— 

Teach me to calm this heart, and patiently await the hour 
When I, too, walk away held by Thy grace, 

When I, too, shall come to Thee face to face. 

0 Father! “I thank Thee that Thou has kept it 
From the wise and prudent and revealed it unto the babes” 
Just as this simple man to-day is doing— 

With Thy Power and Grace to save. 

Then take heart ye heavy laden, 

Tho the hours may seem like days, 

Tho you climb the hill in sorrow— 

“Lo, I am with you always.”

IN MEMORY OF BROTHER ISAIAH AND HIS WORK. 
(By Richards S. Harper, Hollywood, Cal., Sept. 21, ’21.) 

From Mount Pisga’s lofty height 
God shone down His radiant light; 

He touched the heart, of one, 

Who stands before us now inspired 
By His great might. 

He heals the sick thru Jesus’ Blood, 

And saves our souls from this eternal flood; 

He is so humble to wash our feet, 

And bless us with His hands, 

That we might be whole and free from sins of man. 

God’s blessings flow upon Him; 

And guides Him in the faith that keeps Him 
In God’s hands. 

(To the Tune of “Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown?”) 
I’m standing to-day on the platform of God, 

And I know that my Saviour has come. 

For through Brother Isaiah I’ve found Him to-day, 

And I know that with Him I’ll remain. 

Chorus 

Brother Isaiah will lead you and show you the way, 

If in him you will only believe; 

And you’ll dwell in the city of love and truth; 
Brother Isaiah will show you the way. 


(Composed by Nancey J. Russell, Drayton, S. C.) 

The miracle man came to this land, thus obeying Christ’s command; 
For the healer calleth now, come and see, 

There they found their hearts’ desire; 

Brother Isaiah still was there. 

Thus He satisfies the deaf and dumb every time. 

Come and see, the healer calleth, come and see! 

You will be healed, if you only will believe; 

He Who healed the multitude, turned their sorrows into joy, 

To the crippled calleth, now come and be healed. 

Jesus has a table spread, where the sons of God are fed— 

He invites His chosen peoples, come and be healed. 

There are many He doth heal, and supplies their every need; 

Oh! ’tis sweet to trust in Brother Isaiah all the time. 




Soon the healer takes the stand; to be ever at their hand; 

All the hosts of people will assembled be; 

Oh! - ’twill be a glorious sight, when all the blind receive their sight 
And then they will see eternity. 

LOVE AND THE FIELD OFGOLD. 

(To Brother Isaiah from Lucy Tayloe, Beaumont, Texas.) 

Love is but a field of gold, 

Springing up from the seed of God; 

That has scattered joy, life and sunshine 
Into the hearts that were hard with sod— 

He hath lit paths with gladness 
And showed them al lthe way; 

So their hearts shall no more be filled with sadness; 

But happier every day. 

In this world of trials and temptations— 

' To every man doth come, 

Brother Isaiah takes none of them; 

But heeds them every one. 

The road that leads to His camp, 

May have many crooks and turns to relate— 

But when you get out of the worldly vamp— 

You’ll find it very straight. 

He is God’s most blessed angel; 

Sent to point the way to virtue— 

Sent to rouse the soul to action— 

Sent to free man from all torture— 

Love Him, trust Him, give Him welcome; 

He will fill the mind with wisdom; 

Love is all. 

One’s sorrow only, in God’s world has birth; 

To live unloving and unloved on earth; 

One joy alone makes life a part of heaven— 

The joy of happy love, received and given 
How dull ’twould be to live in the world of sin 

If everyone was unloved and knew not how to begin; 

But God hath given us wisdom and showed us how to do— 
And He wants every one to always be kind and true. 

When He heals a man of his pain, 

He then has the power his strength to regain; 

To worship and live for God while he is here, 

Throw away all sins and forget the fear. 

Forget old Satan and the evil ye have done; 


249 



And then you will find your victory has won. 

If you will now only live for God— 

You will find that the rough road you have trod— 

Will all become smooth and straight with life 
And will be taught to live and act for the right. 

The fields of gold are His flowers, 

And Love, is Brother Isaiah; 

So if you want to go to Him— 

It is all very clear. 

Just take the road to virtue. 

And follow it with a smile— 

It isn’t up a hill and down a hill— 

But just straight and mild. 

He will take you and teach you of His Heavenly Father— 
Cast all sins away and of idols not to bother. 


THE CURSE OF GOLD BY THE EDGE OF THE SEA. 

Down by the edge of the sea 
A seething monster crept. 

His name was gold, he had no soul, 

For the money was all for himself. 

God’s messenger came to the Sea by request 
For gold said, gold was sure to follow; 

But Faith stood by the side of the lame— 

And blind Gold’s beast was growing hollow. 

Gold said “he must away—his stay I must cut”; 

So he hastened away and the telephone shut. 

Off of the sand, you must away— 

Our pleasures are dimming, we can’t let you stay. 

Faith was strongly wedged in the crowd—it whispered to many, 
The great crown to sway, the Miracles performed by their side, 

The crowds clung to the Man of God 
As gold was about to fling. 

The maimed and helpless all mercilessly 
Back to hell’s suffering sea. 

The seething Monster was writhing in pain, 

His gold power was fading away, 

The little white papers were an appeal, 

For God, on earth, to stay. 

And the little white papers are more 

In heaven than all the gold of Venice to-day. 


250 



One breath of a restored cripple, 

One glance from the blinded eye. 

One note on the silent ear, is more in the sight 
Of Heaven, than all gold had pictured here. 

A laddie’s voice, a baby’s sight, a mother’s life prolonged, 

Who can say: “Brother Isai h, go away?”—No 
Rejoice He is here and long. 

Let us all look up to the great white throne, 

And believe as I believe, 

A curse will rest on gold, just gold, he will be forever alone, 
When gold grows blind, his breath grows weak; 

“Brother Isaiah,” he will shriek, 

But his voice will be gone, he will wander and faint 
For the man of God, he will seek. 


OUR CAPTAIN AND PILOT. 

(By Mrs. Hetty Anderson, 545 1-2 Crocker St., Los Angeles, Cal.) 
If you path in life is all sorrow, 

And the* way seems all darkness to you, 

Grieve not o’er the cares of to-morrow, 

Isaiah has shown the right thing to do. 

Just turn to God for salvation, 

He’s a friend that forever is true, 

And ever the way will grow brighter, 

There is joy everlasting for you. 

Chorus 

Just consider the matter well over, 

Ponder well on all he will say; 

Choose the right, stand firmly forever, 

E’er your lifeboat has drifted away. 

While the light on the shore burns so faintly, 

And the storm breaks in torrents of sin, 

Comes Isaiah, the man 0 so saintly, 

Now bright beams the light that was dim. 

If your boat on the billows is tossing, 

And in sin you are bearing the rod, 

With Isaiah as captain and pilot, 

You’ll drop anchor in the safe port of God. 


THE NARROW ROAD. 

(Sung to the tune of “Jesus Lover of My Soul.”) 

(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by the author, Clara Corine Martin, healed 
May 26, 1920. On crutches three and one-half years.) 

Jesus came into my soul, 

Take us into Thy heavenly fold. 


251 




We are weary with the load, 

Help us on that narrow road. 

Wash us pure and free from sin, 

So that we may enter in. 

Safe into that heavenly rest, 

There to dwell among the blest. 

We’ve seen the sun spin like a top, 

’Till ’twas made by Him to stop. 

With varied tints of rainbow hue, 

Seen right here by many of you. 

Then tarry not for one short hour, 

You have seen His mighty power 
Shining here like some bright stanr, 

Loved and blessed by God afar. 

Chorus 

Then praise and bless dear Brother Isaiah; 
He gave us all this great desire; 

To save us from eternal fire, 

From His bounteous wealth of love. 


Standing in a line one day, 

About four P. M., 

I was blind and condemned, 

I never saw a stem. 

I had my faith, I had my faith, I got m> faith from him. 

When morning came he healed me; 

He asked me for my name. 

He’s a miracle, he’s a miracle, a miracle man; 

He healed the dumb, the deaf and blind. 

He’s got the crippled that they’re walkin’ fine; 

He’s a faithful man to this blessed land. 

All my hope and faith in him. 

God has sent His faithful Son upon this great big earth 
To show some unbelievers what the Lord and Saviour could work. 
He’s a miracle, he’s a miracle, a miracle man. 

I was blind, I was blind about seventeen years, 

I never saw a tear, 

My hope and faith was here. 

I got my faith, I got my faith, I got my faith from him. 

When morning came he healed me and asked me for my name. 

He’s a miracle, he’s a miracle, he is a miracle man. 

He healed the dumb, the deaf and blind, 


252 



He’s got the crippled that they are walking fine. 

He’s a wonder man to this blessed land. 

All my hope and faith in him. 

God has sent His faithful Son upon this great big earth, 

To show some unbelievers what the Lord and Saviour could work. 
He’s a miracle, he’s a miracle, he’s a miracle man. 

—By Gilbert. 


Violets are blue, heaven is true; 

Sweet angels come sweetly to you. 

I heard them say 
Pray every day, 

We have a faithful vision to say. 

Work, work, work for paradise; 

Heaven is calling me. 

Heavenly Father, heavenly Father, 

Look what You did for me. 

Now the time has come to change, 

The works are greater now. 

Look at the miracles he has performed, 

Look at the crippled he’s sending home. 

Work, work, work for paradise, 

Heaven is calling thee. 

Angels are around in heaven now 
The beautiful world 
Wanted to sigh. 

Look at my heart, it has gone blue; 

This is the word I said was true. 

Work, work, work for Paradise, 

Heaven is calling me; 

Heavenly Father, heavenly Father, 

Look what he did for Thee. 

Now the world is beginning to change; 

It’s changing every day. 

Look at the miracles he has performed, 

Look at the cripples he has sent home! 

Work, work, work for paradise; 

Heaven is calling thee. 

—By Gilbert. 


HOW I WAS HEALED. 

(By Mrs. Clara Corine Martin, New Orleans, La.) 
It was a bright and sunny day, 

When the crutch was cast away. 


253 




By the hands that held them three long years in pain. 
But a great and mighty man, 

Reached out and took mv hand 
And gently led me up upon the stand. 

He then placed me in a chair, 

Laid his de’r, kind hands upon my hair. 

I looked and gazed into his face so fair. 

Then I felt His mighty power, 

Fall o’er me like a shower. 

I rose up then washed pure and free from pain. 

Chorus 

I was sad before I met him. 

And my head was bowed in pain; 

I can never more forget him, 

For He’s made me well again. 

For he is our Dear Brother; 

We will never find another. 

God bless him in His own sweet way. 

I have come again to-day, 

Up here to simply say 

For one and all to put your trust in Him, 

For He’ll make the lame man walk, 

The dumb man he will talk. 

And the blind may see God’s glorious light of day. 
For he is a Miricale; go shout it from the pinnacle 
Of every mountain-top in this wide world. 

For he is God’s own child, 

Sent here so meek and mild, 

To save our souls and free us from all pain. 


GOD’S MESSENGER. 

(By Mrs. Hetty Anderson, Los Angeles, Calif.) 
Down upon the shores of Venice, 

Where the blue waves kiss the shore, 

Dear Isaiah was sent among us 
To heal the sick, blind, lame and sore. 

He has blessed the little children, 

Blessed the sinners on the sand; 

And they walk now with the Saviour, 

They have joined God’s chosen band. 

Chorus 

Dear Isaiah has come to lead us 
Back into our Saviour’s arms, 


254 



There He’ll hold and s fely keep us, 
Free from care and worldly harm; 

And there we will live forever, 

Live for ever and a day. 

He’s a messenger from heaven, 

And will gently lead us all the way. 

Just outside the fold of the Saviour 
Stood the sinners on the shore, 

Now with God they are s fely standing, 
Dear Isaiah has shown them the door. 
Into which we all may enter. 

Enter to eternal life, 

Giving up a world of sinful pleasure, 
And forsake forever sin and strife. 


(By Mamie Daigre, 13 Years Old.) 
He was someone from the hill side; 

He was called in from the glen, 
To cure the sick and lame ones, 

And make the blind to see again. 

Let no one get you discouraged 
By saying “He’s no good”; 

And although you’re very sinful, 

Go to Brother Isaiah and be pure. 


(Sung to the tune of "Beulah Land.”) 

I’ve reached the land of fruits divine 
And all its richness is fully mine; 

Now shines that one blissful day, 

Where pain and sin are wiped away. 

Chorus 

Oh Holy Land, Sweet Holy Land, 

Where all are healed by the Miracle Man. 

Where the blind doth see. 

And the lame doth walk, 

And the deaf doth hear, 

And the mute doth talk. 

Where all are given a Spiritual light; 

Where pain and sin knows only blight. 

God’s love seems to float to me 
In heaven’s own sweet melody. 

And all the white-robed angels’ throng 
Now join in this resurection song. 

— Mrs. A .A. Royal. 


255 




God bless Brother Isai'h; 

So strong and white and pure; 

Where the Mississippi River flows. 

So broad, and so long. 

Where he stands with his hands 

On the eyes of the blind to make them see again. 

The lame ones he cures to w T alk; 

The dumb ones he cures to talk. 

God has sent dear Brother Isai h 
To heal us all. 

—Fay Daigre, 12 years old. 


POWER OF THE HANDKERCHIEF. 

(Written and composed by Mrs. Clara Martin. 3631 Constance Street, New 
Orleans, La., the wife of a man healed from drinking by Brother Isaiah.) 

I was thinking to-day, of dear Brother far aw r ay— 

And longed to see His dear, kind face again. 

And I felt the tear drops start, 

And I was loath to part, 

With one who had done so much for me. 

A poor drunkard in his fall, that I hod thought beyond recall— 

Was saved by this great man before you all. 

There he stands before you now, and he can truly say— 

He has never drank again, up to this day. 

Chorus 

I was sad the day I met Him, and my face was drawn and thin— 
When I told my sad, sad story of vice and sin within. 

He said to me: “Dear daughter, raise up your head, don’t grieve, 

I’ll change the gloom to joy if you’ll belif*e. 

A handkerchief He did hold, many blessings in its fold, 

A poor drunkard staggered up it to receive; 

Now its just three years to-day, I heard dear Brother pray— 

“He’ll never drink again—that’s what I say.” 

Chorus 

I have come from far away, over here to simply say, 

To one and all “just put your faith in Him; 

For I’m that drunkard’s wife, and I am proud to say— 

No finer man walks the streets to-day.” 

I placed the kerchief o’er his heart, 

He said “with faith, vice shall depart, 

For Santas power o’er him I have destroyed.” 

Now this great and mighty man, holds the power in his hands 
To prolong or change the life in any man. 


256 



FATHER I THANK YOU. 

(By Dan Stockton of Bakersfield, Calif.) 


Why should I not praise God on high, 
With happy, tuneful lay? 

Why should I not acknowledge him, 
Who drives dull care away? 


0 King of Kings, who reigns above 
With power so wise and truq; 

For life, for strength, for joy, for health, 
I thank and acknowledge you. 


Your blessings come in many ways, 

You have been kind and good to me, 

You let me live in this sun-filled land, 

And a country brave and free. 

And I’m so grateful for your guiding hand, 
So wise and so divine, 

0 Father, then, all thanks to Thee, 

And be all glory Thine. 


Supreme—and King of gods and men, 
Father, thy power holds sway, 

To correct, to teach, to guide all life 
Toward a more perfected day. 

So that is why both praise and song 
Shall be forever thine 
0 God, You rule our universe, 

With glory that’s divine. 


The sweet perfume of flowers abloom 
Makes fragrance in the air, 
Abundantly each blessing comes, 
Around us—everywhere. 

But most of all and best of all 
By Your power we receive, 

The strength we have to work and live, 
To worship and believe. 


For the might of God and the power of God, 
Beyond the sun doth shine; 

So that is why these thanks to you 
Shall be 0 Father, thine!

WHEN GOD SETS ALL THINGS RIGHT. 

(By Dan Stockton, Bakersfield, Calif.) 

In heaven there dwells the King of Kings 
And Lord of gods and men, 

And His mighty Son, the Prince of Life 
Once born in Bethlehem; 

Who gave to all His precious blood, 

That each from sin and strife. 

Might turn from every evil way 
And gain Eternal Life! 

To each and all—in every land 
Salvation waits on every hand; 

A blessing which with wealth compared, 
Surpasses all, and can be shared 
By every person on the earth 

Without regard to fame or birth. 

In Jesus Christ, God found no sin! 

Our Father’s Son sent here to win 
The world away from Satan’s guile, 

And teach a better life worth while. 

0 King of Kings and Jesus too! 

Your power and might shall live and do, 

A transformation on this earth 
And give the world another birth, 

Whereby all sin shall go away, 

And Heaven be a fact and stay. 

Then never more shall sorrow come 
To rend our hearts and strike us dumb; 

But a paradise—all shining bright, 

When God again sets all things right. 


FATHER TO YOU THIS PRAISE IS GIVEN. 

(By Dan Stockton, Bakersfield, Calif.) 
Father ( to you Who dwells on high, 

This praise is humbly given; 

You direct affairs o’er all the earth 

From Your mighty throne in heaven. 

No sparrow falls without you know, 

No flower that blooms so free; 

Can come to pass, or live, or thrive, 

Without you know and see. 


258 



I thank You for the sky and air, 

The earth and all it gives; 

I thank you for the breath of life. 

By which our bodies live. 

I thank You for this shelter, 

And for the council wise and true, 

0 righteous Father all Divine, 

All praise and thanks to You. 

0 faith it is an unseen thing, 

Which journeys from afar; 

From realms remote it comes to us 
A hope and guiding star. 

And, Father, if we keep that faith, 

I know that you will give, 

Ufe all another chance right soon 
With You in paradise to live. 

So that is why I thank You now, 

For a future shining bright, 

And I hope and pray to see the day 
When your glory and your might, 

Will create on earth a heaven, 

And make all wrong things right. 

And I thank you for that privilege, 
That you have promised me, 

When Christ comes in power and glory, 
And from sin sets this world free. 


SO LET US PRAISE GOD’S MIGHTY NAME. 

(By Dan Stockton, Bakersfield, Calif.) 

Out of the caverns of Darkness—from portals of somber night. 
From a ghost-like gloom—and the silence of doom, 

The Lord said: “Let there be light!” 

Then the rays of the sun shone brightly, 

And the universe felt that first time 
That radiant fire—like hearts’ desire, 

Which God commanded to shine. 

And the world He created and peopled, 

And the earth and the sea and the air, 

Were pure and clean—as when life is young 
And all things were surpassingly fair. 


259 



Man lived in a garden called “Eden” 

Amid beautiful valleys of flowers, 

And the hillsides were green—as an emerald sheen, 
Caressed by April showers. 

And all about, and in and out, 

Was joy and peace serene; 

For God had blessed all things you see 
And time passed like a golden dream. 

And the garden was ruled by a man and in his prime, 
Where beasts and fowls of the air 
Obeyed his command—and on every hand, 

Was beauty—exquisite and rare. 

No sickness, no sorrow, no envy or shame 
Entered this beautiful land, 

The bloom of youth—the thought of truth 
Reflected God’s blessings so grand. 

Till the serpent came and by guile and deceit, 

On the woman cast sin with great shame, 

Beauty fled—vanished joys—cames sorrow with noise, 

And Satan alone is to blame. 

Now labor, discomfort and trouble became 
The lot of every man; 

With disappointment and toil 

We work in the soil—since the curse on Adam began. 

With pain and worry and fatigue and sweat, 

We toil and slave for the bread we get; 

And all because of this ancient curse, 

Which gets no better, but rather worse 
As time goes on in her ceaseless flight, 

And we fail at last in a grim black night. 

But look!—here comes a flaming ray, 

To light our path and guide our way; 

It’s Jesus Christ, the Guiding Star, 

Who makes life worth living where we are. 

He came to earth and showed us how 
To live so much better! 

Therefore, now, we each and all wait paitiently. 

Our Lrod and Master soon to see, 

And when He comes what joy there’ll be! 


260 






What joy there’ll be—oh, wait and see! 

Divine blessings soon will come, 

For every one in every land, 

The great, the small, the poor, the grand, 

To all who have acknowledged Christ to be their Prince and Lord 
There’s sure to come a better time and likewise great reward. 

For God, the Father, loved Him so 
He sent Him to this world below 
To show the Better Way! 

So that is why we all should pray and hope for that perfected day, 

When God’s will upon this earth shall bring, 

That great re-adjustment of everything; 

Of such a time we hope to see, 

Our Father’s power—shine full and free.. 

To banish Satan and his shame, 

For this we hope and praise God’s name! 

So let us praise God’s mighty name, 

With all our hearts declare his fame. 

The King of Kings—He reigns on high 
0 let your hearts to God draw nigh! 

His mighty Son who once He gave 
The people of this world to save, 

Is coming soon—Oh speed that day! 

So now let all the people say: 

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow; 

Praise God so good, so kind, so true. 

And Jesus Christ who will hedp us to 
Regain again that heavenly star— 

A perfect world, right where we are! 


HIS TRUTH SHALL STAND. 

This is to tell a story, well known in every land 
A narrative of glory and of things divinely grand. 

A story of the power of God and of His words so true, 

And of His Son who gave His life the bring new hope in 
To make this earth far better—to drive away all guile, 

A better place for you and me, 

A world, indeed, worth while. 

It is an ancient story, yet the greatest ever told. 

Of the shepherd King of Glory, 

And the members of His fold. 

For the power of God shines brightly still, 




view. 


261 



’Tis seen on every hand, 

So that is why we say to-day 
His truth shall always stand. 

—Dan Stockton. 

Bakersfield, California, Feb. 10, 1923. 


IN HONOR OF OUR LORD. 

In honor of our Lord I sing, 

Almighty God, the highest King 
Who reigns in heaven 
Where glory’s shine, 

On all about, sheds light Divine. 

No other power in earth or air, 

Can with Almighty God compare; 

Who sent His Son here to this earth, 

To offer chance of heavenly birth; 

And great rewards for all who do 
Divine commands so good and true. 

In honor of my God I sing, 

And Jesus too, a welcoming; 

So let us honor and obey, 

All that our Lord and His Son may say. 


Each minute, hour, and every day 
Will bring rewards in every way; 

So that is why I praise my Prince and sing, 
In honor of my Lord and King. 


Bakersfield, California, Feb. 10, 1923. 


—Dan Stockton. 


TO PRAISE MY LORD AND KING. 

Out of the lightning that comes brightening, 

The earth, the sea and air, 

I feel the presence of the living God around and everywhere. 

There is no plant that lives on earth, 

No flower that blooms in spring, 

But what is made to honor God, who is our Lord and King. 

His presence radiates all thru 
Each nook and hill and vale, 

In crowded streets and country lanes, 

And high on mountain trail. 


262 




Tho one may seek realms far remote, 

It makes no difference where, 

In every hour, we feel the power of God, our Father, there. 


So this is why these lines are writ, 

And this is why I sing; 

To declare His fame and praise the name 
Of my Lord and God and King. 

Bakersfield, California, Feb. 10, 1923.

THE MAN IN SNOWY WHITE. 

(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by Dan Stockton, Bakersfield, Cal.) 
Picture to-night a man in snowy white 

He is teaching where the orange blossoms grow; 

Beneath the spreading trees, 

He is curing all disease and affliction as in ages long ago. 
This great man with hair like snow, 

Just as happened long ago 

Hath proved to be a healer of the blind— 

And the lame begin to walk. 

While the dumb commence to talk. 

He’s really a big brother of mankind 

Yes, He is our wonderful brother in sorrow’s darkest hour, 
Then is when we need His friendship most, 

Then is when we feel His power. 

For He works thru God’s greatt favor 
And He heals by power divine, 

Like the power of the Apostles, 

And the saints of anciet time. 

No human skill nor practice, 

Could perform the things He’s done— 

He lifts the dying from his bed, 

Again a miracle has won. 

They send to Him by thousands, 

From the East and from the West, 

And from the North and from the South, 

Handkerchiefs to be blest. 

For all that use those tokens, 

Are much benefitted thereby— 

They live, they walk, they lose their fear, 

They are no longer heard to cry. 

For God’s own voice hath spoken, 

They believe thru this man’s power; 

And as we weave in better thoughts, . , 

Progress comes every hour. 


263 



For all the good things of this life, 

We can easily receive— 

If we only trust our Father, 

Just trust Him and believe. 

Brother Isaiah is a man who loves God; 

He hath curing power of might; 

He hates all evil and vain thoughts 
And champions the right. 

And not alone by miracles, 

Is all His fame renowned, 

For He preaches wonderful sermons, 

Every word of which is sound. 

Now listen while I tell you, 

Of the things He says and does; 

That skeptics may be put to shame. 

That say—this never was. 

An ambulance rushes to the park, 

It bears a corpse well nigh; 

Death’s silence reigns upon the crowd, 

A stretcher borne on high. 

Brother Isaiah takes His stand 
Beside the stricken bier; 

He takes the sick man by the hand, 

Then applause rises far and near. 

“The Patient’s well,” they cry, 

“He’s on his feet; Look! now he walks with eager tread; 
His eyes are bright and clear— 

A miracle has been performed,” 

And once more we all cheer. 

Brother Isaiah takes His Bible, 

And now comes, best of all, 

For He interprets all the Scriptures 
Like the hand-writing on the wall. 

And we listen to the story— 

That was made so long ago. 

With a better understanding, 

That’s why we love Him so. 

He tells us of progression 
And the preparation day; 

To beware of evil—to do right, 

To blot all sin away. 

So in the land of orange blossoms, 

We are learning to do right; 

From the One whose robe is spotless, 

This man in Snowy White. 


264 


THERES’S A PROPHET IN THE WEST. 

(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by Dan Stockton, Bakersfield, Cal.) 
A prophet has come to the West, 

Where the blue Pacific rolls, 

A mighty man of God is He, 

Christ’s message He unfolds. 

Without great pomp, 

Without great fame, 

Without a tumult loud, 

With simple phrase, in Jesus’ name, 

He preaches to the crowd. 

He preaches to the throng each day, 

And tells them what is right; 

And proves His statements every one 
With miracles of migh. 

The cripple walks upon the street, 

The blind are made to see; 

The deaf they hear, the dumb they speak, 

The sick from pain are free. 

Like saints of old, this simple man 
Desires no wealth nor fame, 

He is content to do God’s work, 

And glorify His name. 

Under the spreading pepper trees 
The audience they stand, 

And watch all the wondrous things 
Wrought by this great man’s hands. 

I saw a lady on a couch, 

They brought her yesterday; 

She was near death, we all knew that, 

But soon she walked away. 

Brother Isaiah had raised her up, 

And brought her to His stand— 

He fed her fruit and gave her strength, 

And took her by the hand. 

And sent her home all well again; 

No fee He charged her then, 

For He does here God’s work on earth 
And not the things of man. 

He speaks both afternoon and night, 

And tells us what to do; 

We love to listen to His words 

■ 

For we know that they are true. 

We like to hear Him phophesy— 


265 


The motor car, the plane, 

He predicted years ago ’tis said, 

His words were not in vain. 

He says the time is near at hand 
When all things shall be new, 

And if we do our God’s commands, 

Theres hope for me and you. 

By His example and His work 
He proves God’s mighty power; 

And, when we live a Christian life, 

All hail this mighty man of God, 

The Brother we love best, 

For there’s peace and good will on earth, 

And a prophet in the West. 

(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by Mrs. W. Thames.) 
Heaven is true, Jesus in pure— 

Brother was sent for you, 

He tells us of His love 
That comes from above, 

If you listen and obey. 

I found the sunshine and happiness, 

I found the heaven’s dew; 

I found the One who is precious; 

A friend so kind and true. 

I found the one who is so faithful, 

Telling of Jesus’ love, 

Who will turn your sadness, 

All into gladness—when you find Him. 

Just trust and obey and do not delay, 

For time is drawing near; 

When angels shall say, 

We’ve gathered in love, 

That’s given from above. 


HOW TO GET RID OF PAIN. 
Kind people, from all Nations, 

Come listen while I sing; 

I have composed for you a poem— 

Tells how to get rid of your pain. 

Write Brother Isaiah a letter— 

Send a handkerchief to be blessed; 

Repent of your sins, trust in Brother Isaiah, 
And He'll do the rest. 

266 




It was on Miracle Hill one day, 

I heard dear Brother talk; 

He healed the blind, the deaf and dumb; 

And caused the lame to walk. 

Now my dear, kind people; 

This isn’t half he’s done— 

Whilst standing there in thousands— 

We saw him change the sun. 

And from that very moment, 

I felt a change of heart; 

I was not thoroughly healed at once, 

But I had a mighty good start. 

I went home praying, 

Both day and night the same; 

I never, no never did I stop, 

Until I got rid of my pain. 

Now this isn’t all the blessings 
That I have for my reward; 

I quit living a worldly life, 

I am working for the Lord. 

And, my dear brothers and sisters, 

I am happy to say— 

I am putting in my best time— 

For the Lord and Brother Isaiah. 

—/. C. Hill 

JUBILEE REJOICINGS. 

Come join with me in my songs of glee. 

Come join with me in my songs of glee, 

For I was made well and am happy as can be, 

As I come marching on. 

Chorus 

Glory, glory, halleluliah, 

Glory, glory, halleluliah, 

Glory, glory, halleluliah, 

As you all come marching on. 

He’ll cure the deaf and he’ll cure the dumb, 

He’ll make the deaf hear and the dumb speak some. 

He’ll cure the blind and he’ll make them all see; 

And he’ll cure the lame like me. 

■ ■ v 



Now come right along don’t let your feet drag; 

Come, come to Him underneath His own flag; 

He will give you grace and heal you all too. 

As you all come marching on. 

Now, kind friends, I will bid you all adieu, 

Some other day I will speak again to you, 

I will tell you now that you have all got to pray, 

And He will show you the way. 

(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by the author, Clara Corena Martin, 
healed May 26, 1920. On crutches for three and one-half years. 
725 Foucher Street, New Orleans, La.) 


NEAR THE BANKS OF THAT LONE RIVER. 

Near the banks of that lone river, 

Where its murky waters flow, 

Dwells the purest Saint that ever 
Came to heal all ills and woes. 

How he met and loved and parted, 

He has told me all before, 

When his Saviour one day called him, 

And gently told him he must go. 

Then, like a poor Ion elittle child, 

He went forth so meek and mild, 

Through woods and plains, o’er hills and rills. 

Many long, weary miles. 

How sweet ’twill sound to him some day, 

How sweet to hear his Saviour say: 

“Well done, thou good and faithful child,” 

Then he’ll see God’s heavenly smile. 

Now bow your head and wear this crown, 

You have won with grea trenown, 

For you have served your Master true, 

’Neath the flag, gold, white and blue. (His own flag.) 

WHERE THE BURNING OF MY SOUL ROLLED AWAY. 
(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by the author, Clara Corine Martin, healed 
May 26, 1920. On crutches three and one-half years.) 

I’ve come back to the place where I first saw the light, 

On the banks where the Mississippi flows; 

For there we will leave all our ills and woes, 

With the Saint that everybody knows. 

Chorus 

Then come to the place where you’ll all see the light, 

And the burning of your soul rolled away, rolled away. 




268 




It’s here by faith, you'll receive your sight. 

And you will be happy all your days. 

With his hair silvery bright, 

And his soul so pure and white, 

He prays day and night, 

God to show us all the light. 

On some bright, glorious day, 

You will come to him and say: 

You are saved by your truth and faith in him. 

Then let us all pray to God, 

From His bright, shining clouds. 

He will guard him and shield him from harm; 

And bring him safe home, 

To this rude little throne, 

Where he’ll save poor sinners like me. 

I have seen His face 

Shine white like snow; 

I am saved by grace, 

I am sure He knows. 

Armed with love stands a crowd, 

He has heald from all pain, 

Christ from the clouds has come again. 


SOMEBODY CARES. 

(Compliments of Clara Corine Martin, 725 Foucher Street, 
New Orleans, Louisiana.) 

Somebody knows when your heart aches, 

And everything seems to go wrong, 

Somebody knows when the shadows 
Need chasing away with a song. 

Somebody knows when you are lonely, 

Tired, discouraged and blue; 

Somebody wants you to know him, 

And know that he dearly loves you. 

Somebody cares when you are tempted, 

And the world grows dizzy and dim; 

Somebody cares when you are weakest, 

And far, far away from Him. 

Somebody grieves when you’ve fallen, 

Though you’re not lost to His sight; 

He never waits for your coming, 

Taking the gloom from your night. 


269 



Somebody loves you when weary, 

Somebody loves you when strong; 
Always is waiting to help you, 

Counting you one of His throng. 
Needing His friendship so holy, 

Needing His watch-care so true; 
His Name? They call His name Jesus, 
His people just me and just you. 


WORDS TO BROTHER ISAIAH. 

(By Mrs. Lillian De Wolfe, 690 Union Stret, Los Angeles, California.) 
It was in Venice, down by the sea. 

That I found freedom from sickness and pain; 

When dear Brother Isaiah spoke words meant for me: 

“By faith shall ye be made whole again.” 

From pain and suff’ring I was set free, 

My soul filled with rapture divine; 

Oh, that all might God’s goodness see, 

And know the peace that now is mine. 

God’s anointed now is in our midst. 

Speaking Truth in miracles grand; 

Causing the blind to see the dumb to speak 
Guiding us with His gentle hand. 

There are billows far out on the ocean blue, 

That never will break on the beach; 

So are there words of Life so true, 

That have flowed into speech. 

Through faith in God he healeth. 

All who upon him do call; 

Oh harken, dear sufferer, heareth, 

He now speaketh to one and to all. 

And through dear Brother Isaiah, 

God is performing His miracles to-day; 

As in the days of Jesus, the Messiah, 

He has opened to each one the way. 

To find release from pain and sorrow, 

And cleansing from darkness of sin; 

Oh Hail, the glad, joyful to-morrow, 

And God’s glorious victory win. 

August 6, 1921.

A SONG POEM. 

(Composed by Hetty Anderson, Lompoc, California.) 

Down upon the shores of Venice, 

Where the blue waves kiss the shore, 

Dear Isaiah was sent among us. 

To heal the blind, lame, sick and sore. 

He has blessed the little children, 

Blessed the sinners on the sand; 

And they walk now with the Saviour, 

They have joined God's chosen band. 

Chorus 

Dear Isaiah has come to lead us • 

Back into our Father’s arms; 

Then He will hold and keep us. 

Free from sin and worldly harms. 

And there we will live forever, 

Live forever and a day; 

He’s a messenger from Heaven, 

And will gently lead us all the way. 

Ju-.t outside the fold of the Saviour, 

Stood the sinners on the shore; 

Now with God they are safely standing, 

Dear Isaiah h s shown the door 

Into which we all may enter, 

Enter to eternal life; 

Give up a world of sinful pleasure, 

And forsake forever sin and strife. 


WORDS TO BROTHER ISAIAH. 

(By Mrs. Lillian DeWolfe, 690 Union St., Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 6, 1921.) 
The sun sinking to rest on the ocean blue. 

Kissing each wavelet fair. 

Falls gently on God’s messenger true, 

On white robe and white silvery hair. 

As he giveth His blessing upon each head 
Of the sufferers on the sand, 

A glorious radiance around him spread, 

As he heals with magical hand. 

Methinks of days when Jesus, the Messiah 

Walked and healed on the shores of Galilee, 

To-day God’s anointed dear Brother Isaiah, 

Walks and heals beside the sea. 

No fee for his service so lovingly given, 

He, through God, heals all who unto him call, 


271 



Making of this earth an heaven, 

Bestowing His blessing on great and small. 

Come to Him all ye sufferers, list to God’s word, 
By faith shall ye be made whole; 

Give God your heart, Ah trust His word, 

And find sweet peace to your soul. 

Thank God you ever came this way, 

Dear Brother on your mission noble and grand; 
A tribute of love we unto you pay, 

And bow for the blessing of Thy healing hand. 


THE MAN IN WHITE. 

In a hacienda lane of bough so green. 

Where lovely Nature lies reposing; 

A concourse, there, as e’er was seen— 

Where a picnic ground lies a dozing. 

Of seats and tables everywhere, 

Of the greenery of the sublime; 

The call to health is in the air 
Of “Brother Isaiah,” the divine. 

His garb is snowy white, as his beard and hair, 

And he, of vigor in his aged frame; 

He calls the sick unto his care, 

To partake of the good gifts on Nature’s name. 

Live chaste, do good! He tells you so, 

This “hombre” of the frosts of Time; 

Then you will know no disease, nor woe— 

Nor will you be made feel the sting of rheum. 

The blind do see, the lame do walk. 

One’s own enthusiasm is the cure; 

And what is more, the dumb do talk— 

Brother Isaiah says a thing that’s sure. 

Fair “Holywood” does shelter him, I wean 
’Tween cosy palms on a mountain side; 

His fame is abroad ,as e’er was seen— 

In our world so far and wide. 

We well can afford him the “Amphy Hall” 

To build in Nature’s neck of sceneries sublime; 

Where will resound his vigorous call, 

Come to health! Ye, humans, big and small. 

Oh List! List, the call of Brother Isaiah the Divine. 

Come! Do rejoice, he says; there never again will be such a brother. 

— Treo. S. Ruby .

HOW WE ALL LOVE YOU. 

(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by the Author (Mrs.) Clara Corine Martin, 
Foucher Street, New Orleans, La. Healed May 26, 1920. On 
crutches for three and a half years.) 

I’m going to tell you how much we all love you, 

Just like the sun kissed flowers love the dew; 

As the angels up in heaven love their God, 

That’s the way all of us love you. 

I’ve a longing in my heart that I must tell, 

And I think dear friends that you can guess it well, 

It’s to know that when I leave this earthly shore, 

I shall dwell with God and you for ever more. 


THE WONDERS OF THE SUN. 

(Dedicated to Brother Isaiah by Clara Corine Martin.) 

J was sitting in the door of my little humble home, 

It was in the early hour of the morn, 

When the day star in a moment came within my heart— 

There to dwell within and never to depart. 

Chorus 

Oh! dear Brother Isaiah, thou hast lifted Thine heart in prayer; 

And we thank your God that sent you here, 

To prepare us for the race, that we can meet Thee face to face; 
Guided by Thine hand into that heavenly land. 

When the sun was shining bright, 

All robed in tints of light; 

(Every flower and every shrub was clothed in golden light; 

For this great and Mighty man, holds the power in His hand— 

To prolong the span of life in any man. 

Chorus 

When we lay upon our bed, and pronounced by all are dead; 

(By the touch of His hand and command; 

Then the grim death out it starts; 

Then He bids us rise and walk, 

Resurrected in the new Jerusalem. 


Chorus 

Oh! the wondrous sight I saw, 

That filled my heart with joy and awe; 

For the Mighty Power of God that we have proved, 

No more doubts, no more fear, no more pain and no more tears— 
But with Him eternal life for ever more. 


273 



HOW I WOUND MX WAY. 

I was sick, warward and sinful 
Ever prone to go astray; 

With old Satan and his angels, 

Is just how I lost my way,. 

Chorus 

With old Satan and his angels, 

Is just how I lost my way; 

I wound my way, yes day by day, 

Oh, dear Lord, I failed to pray. 

At death’s door I almost lay, 

Just about the price to pay; 

But praise the Lord for He knew best, 
Through His dear Son I was surely blessed 

And humbly on my knees I knelt, 

O’er my body God’s power I felt. 

Now I strvie so hard each day. 

To walk the straight and narrow way. 

With old Satan and his angels 
Is just how I wound my way. 

I wound my way, yes day by day; 

Oh, dear Lord, I failed to pray. 

Now each day I pray and pray, 

That from God I’ll never stray. 

But for Him I’ll wind my way; 

Wind my way and never fail to pray. 

Here this blessed shining star, 

By God was sent from miles afar. 

Like the flowers he is so true, 

He came to save both I and you. 

With onl Satan and his angels, 

I no longer wind my way; 

But now each day I truly pray, 

To keep the straight and narrow way 

With old Satan and his angels, 

Is just how I wound my way, 

I wound my way yes day by day, 

Oh, dear Lord, I failed to pray.

IN MEMORY OF BROTHER ISAIAH AND HIS WORK. 

(By Richard S. Harper, Hollywood, California, September 21, 1921.) 
From Mount Pisga’s lofty height 
God shone down His radiant light; 

He touched the heart of one, 

Who stands before us now inspired 
By His great might. 

He heals the sick thru Jesus’ blood; 

A\id saves our souls from this eternal flood; 

He is so humble to wash our feet, 

And bless us with His hands, 

That we might be whole and free from sins of man. 

God’s blessings flow upon Him; 

And guide Him in the faith that keeps Him in God’s hands. 


AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL 

0 beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain 
For purple mountain majesties Above the. fruited plain. 
America! America! God shed His grace on thee, 

And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea. 

0 beautiful for pilgrim feet Whose stern impassioned stress 
A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness. 

America! America! God mend thine ev’ry flaw, 

Confirm thy soul in self control, Thy liberty in law. 

O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, 

Who more than self their country loved, And mercy more than life. 

America! America! May God thy gold refine 

Till all success be nobleness And ev’ry gain divine. 

O beautiful for patriot’s dream That sees beyond the years 
Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears. 

America! America! God shed His grace on thee, 

And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea. 

It was the time of the world’s dismay: 

No where was there seen anything gay, 

Sorrow was there all the day; 

It was the time of the world’s dismay. 

Lame and blind with empty palms, 

Were seen asking alms. 

It was the world’s dismay. 

Everything was old and gray, 

Then came our Dear Brother, 

This was the time that sorrow would go no further. 

He did many a noble deed, 

That helped people in their daily need. 

Mrs. Mary Church. 





CHRIST IS HERE WE NEED NOT FEAR 

Christ is here, we need not fear and the word that He speaks 
it true. When He preaches on the stand, He has blest this wicked 
land, and the people that listen to Him are true. 

And we will be one of His fold, “Neath the flag white, blue 
and gold,” that will bring righteousness all over the world. 

And the hands of His are true, like His love and heart to 
you. Now the Lord comes on this land, in the form of a man. 
But the words that He has is’nt the man. 

God has come back on earth, To prove His blessed work. 
This will go all over the world. And His heart that sets so true. 
What He tells you, you must do. If you disobey Him, you will 
be lost. But if you obey Him, you will not have to bear the cross. 

He was on earth, and here for twenty-eight years. 

Preaching out this pure life, That tells you what to do. But 
if you listen, He will show you how its true. 

God is here, we need not fear, But the word He speaks is 
life. He has no end to what He speaks. 

His holy words are true. 

Now is the time to come to Him, 

He will tell you what to do. He will save you and cleanse 
you from all your sins. He will wash all evil out of you. And 
make you live again. But in His heart He hath life, and mercy 
for you, too. 

Oh! kind people, listen to Him and seek Him and praise Him, 
and glorify Him. For He is the Lord God. That now speaks to 
the world. 

He is God’s own mouthpiece, come to save the world. 

You must keep you mind and listen, to the words He has to 
say. But Oh! this world is wicked; It will. have to be cleansed 
and pure. If they listen to the living Christ’s ministry. 

He will tell them what to do. He is here to save His people, 
and take them a Way from the world: That their hearts may be 
pure and shining like a pearl. 

Don’t you know He is heaven and Jerusalem too? Don’s 
you know He is the living Christ? That came to save both I and 
you? That we might listen to His holy command. He is God’s 
own mouthpiece, speaking to this land. But Oh! He lives so pure: 


276 


Like the star sets in the sky. For He is the truth and Christ and 
the words that He speaks is right. 

He will make righteousness cover this earth, Like the stars, 
shines in the skies. He will change this wicked world and will 
call it paradise. 

But the hands, He has are powerful too, Like the moon that 
shines in the sky. He is Christ on earth, that comes again, To 
make this earth paradise. 

He is the Lord. 

We all must come to hear the word He speaks and holy too 
and God you must fear, but follow Him into the land where He 
will lead you safe. He will show you righteousness and bless 
you with good faith. 

Oh! we must love Him and obey His holy command, For He 
is the Christ. That came once again upon this land.

909 Me Bride Avenue, Belvedere Gardens, 

Los Angeles, Cal., June 21, 1923. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I will now write my testimony, and will try to write it as nearly 
correct as possible. 

When I was about seven or eight years old, I and a girl friend 
were playing together, when she pushed me down an embankment 
and injured my spine. Then I nearly went blind, and had to go 
to the post-graduate hospital in Chicago three times a week for 
several months, and they, at last, saved my eyes so that I did not 
go altogether blind, but I had to wear glasses, and had very poor 
sight until I met Brother Isaiah. Then, after my eyes got better I 
became so sick that I had to go to bad, and I can never describe 
it on paper or in words either, to others how I suffered for eleven 
long years. I became paralyzed from my hips down; had tubercu¬ 
losis of the spine, and double curvature of the spine, had heart * 
trouble, and stomach trouble, and for seven monhts before I was 
healed I could not eat anything. I could not as much as keep a 
drink of cool water down; I could take ochlfeltfiPlkcmfwyl 23 
drink of cool water down and wae a nervous wreck. 

I had no use of my neck whatecer; when I was bfought to 


277 



Brother Isaiah ,my head just hobbled all around, and I could not 
feed myself. 

I had been to the Mayo Brothers at Rochester, Minn., and 
to the McLain Sanitarium at St. Louis, Mo., and different places in 
Chicago, and, of course, my folks wanted to see me well again and 
tried almost everything they heard of to no avail. When I was in 
Chicago at Mayo Brothers, they stuck needles a good inch in my 
limbs, anywhere from my hips down, and I could not feet it at all, 
and I kept growing worse all the time; the doctors said I was slowly 
dying, andthat there yas no hopes for me whatever—but still I 
always felt that I would be healed some day, and be well and 
able to walk like other girls, but I always felt that if I was healed 
it would be done by the Lord, and not by all the doctors on 
earth. 

Then after eleven long years of suffering, when it seemed as 
though the last hopes were gone, on a bright, sunny day, came the 
blessed news that a wonderful man, called the miracle man, or 
Brother Isaiah, was doing wondrous miracles across from Lincoln 
Park; then, the next day, when I heard the paper read, and saw 
his picfiutre in the paper, I had a good feeling go over me, and 
I felt that He was a man of God, and could heal me, even though 
I was just about dead. The doctors who were caring for me knew 
they could do no more for me, so when I told them I was going 
to see Brother Isaiah, they were willing and wanted to ake me to 
him, so I consented, and they took me to one of his meetings; 
they all saw my low condition and so rushed me onto the stand; 
just as soon as I saw his dear, sweet face I knew who he was, 
and knew I would be healed; then he sat me in his chair. I was as 
limp and helpless as death, so Brother Isaiah had to support me 
in the chair while he anointed me—then he said to the people: 
“Now, good friends you all see how weak this litt elgirl is? I am 
going to bring my hands up along her sides, and she will sit up, 
he brought his hands up quickly along side of me, and lacked 
about a foot of touching me, and I felt such a powerful strong 
and such a good feeling go all through me from the top of my 
head to the sole of my feet, and this power just sat me right up, 
and all my aches, pains and fever were gone, and I could feel the 

* ( re- 

slightest touch anywhere on my limbs, and they became warm 
for the first time in years, and oh, how happy I felt; I felt like a 


278 



new person. Then Brother Isaiah took hold of my hands, and told 
me to rise in the name of the Lord, and I felt this same power 
stand me upon my feet, and I took myfirst steps in eleven years. 

That was two years ago this June, and I am gainink all tre tife 
and doing just fine. 

I hope this testimony will prove to be of help to some other 
poor sufferer. Truthfully yours, 

(Signed) Miss Iledda Goung. 


New Orleans, La., Sept. 25, 1922. 

Dear Brother: 

About three weeks ago I wrote a letter to you asking you for 
some rain for our farm as my husband had planted all his seeds. 
Many, many thanks, as we got all the rain we needed the next day 
after I mailed your letter. And now I want to tell you all the 
vegetables are up and need more rain now, so please, Brother, 
see that our dear Father above sends us more rain, and help all our 
crops to grow and sell at a good price, as we need money. Trank- 
ing you again for your great blessing. 

Mrs Joseph Picone, Sta. B., R. F. D. 2, B 39A. 

Westwego, La., May 1, 1922. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I am just fine and happy since I met you and I just know and 
feel that I am in a new life altogether since ever I met you. I 
know, Brother, that you can save the people and I am just working 
to be saved. And, I don’t care any more about anything in the 
world, but going to the meeting and hearing you preach, and I am 
understanding you more and more every day and I thank the dear 
Lord in your name, Brother Isaiah, for that I just know the 
Lord is helping me every day since I am keeping His command¬ 
ments. Dear Brother, I want to live, I don’t want to die and I 
know the only way there is to be saved is to be with you and keep 
your laws. I believe in God and the Bible and you, dear Brother 
Isaiah. I believe that you came forth from God Almighty, because 
I have seen you performing some wonderful work right on that 
river bank and it is going on two years since I have known you. 
I am so glad too, dear Brother, I want to tell you that you have 
healed my two thumbs with a blest handkerchief and you have cured

Magnolia, Miss., Nov. 12, 1920. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I will try and tell you what you have done for me. I had 
some kind of spells, I would draw up when I had them. I felt like 
I was covered in ants, I could not move nor speak, some time 
I had one or two a week. I tried several things, but nothing did 
me any good. When I got the handkerchief from you, that night 
when I went to bed I prayed to God that, through Brother Isaiah’s 
blest handkerchief my head might get easy. I pressed it to my 
head and in a few minutes, it was easy. Then I prayed that my 
body might be healed, and, since then, I have never had another 
spell. 

Miss Ruby Hale, R. F. D. 1, Box 58.

Some time ago I received the handkerchief you were so kind 
to anoint for me and wish to thank you most sincerely for the same 
and also wish to say I am feeling splendid again, not having a 
pain or ache and am feeling as good as ever. 

Ralph T. Pringle. 


Meridian, Miss., Sept. 9, 1920. 

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

Do you remember the little girl that you healed of weak 
eyes at Meridian not long ago? Well I’m that little girl. My eyes 
grow stronger every day and oh! I don’t know how to thank you 
Brother Isaiah. I had been so used to being near-sighted, I had 
given up all hope of being cured until I heard of you. Some 
people think it so wonderful and it would make you laugh to 
hear the funny things they say. It is hard to make them believe. 
If it wouldn’t seem improper or if you wouldn’t mind it, and you 
were here, I would kiss you. 

Yours lovingly, 

Vivian Clarke. 


Beaumont, Tex., June 20, 1922. 

Dear Brother Isaiah:

can work all day and sleep all night. I feel so happy and feel 
better than I have in a long time.

Dear Brother Isaiah: 

I received the first handkerchief I sent you and it has done 
me so much good. I awoke one Sunday morning with such a pain in 
my side. I did as you told me and in thirty minutes I was easy. It 
has not only healed me, but I live nearer to God day by day. I 
hope you can come back to Jacksonville as we need you so bad 
and you have done so much good here. 

Mrs. T. E. Adams. 


Kinder, La., Sept. 16, 1920.

believing.
